When I do a reply to a message with pgnus 0.84, I would like
to have the To and Cc lines rewritten slightly...

Have the To point to the mailinglist (or newsgroup) set in the
Group buffer with 'G p' (to-list/to-address), and the Cc with
the original To address AND any original Cc.

Previously I had my own function that did this (it still work)
but it was very crude, and sometimes added the originator
address two or three times (!)

Isn't this the default behavior when you do a followup without to-list
and to-address?

Doesn't seem so... Removed the to-list for this group (other.ding-devel)
and tried to reply to your mail. Only your name ended up in the header
with gnus-summary-reply-with-original.

That's beacuse you did a reply not a followup as Kai suggested.
Followup does what you require (F instead of R, f instead of r)

gnus-summary-followup-with-original etc. etc.

HTH

He! Cool, I didn't know this, it work's perfectly!

(Oki, oki... It's in the manual probably, but I hate manuals,
and i haven't read it since i started out with GNUS a couple
of years ago :)

Now I can remove that crude hack...

You're missing something. Thanks to Lars's wonderful style it's quite
a good read. It's actually the most entertaining manual I know.

Now for some critique: I know of no material that can be fully
recommended to Gnus-newbies (i.e. people that mastered other
newsreaders, but want to try/switch to Gnus) [1]. The manual is to
baroque for this occassion - newbies just want to post a followup, not 
puzzle about the 8 different ways to do it presented in `Summary Post
Commands', for example.

[1] I have tried to write something like that, but it's in german
(local students being the main target audience). If somebody who
understands german feels the pressing need to proofread against
glaring errors: <URL:http://www.usenet.at/reader/gnus.html>
