Does > that mean that it is usually there by default? I think the Newsgroups header is auto-inserted depending on the nnimap-news-groups server parameter. But then, there is some home-grown Lisp code which also inserts a Newsgroups header for some of my colleagues.

Hm. Before hitting `a', they have gnus-current-select-method equal to (nnimap ...) -- which is from gnus-secondary-select-methods --, after hitting `a' in the newly created message buffer, gnus-current-select-method is equal to (nntp ...) -- which is from gnus-select-method. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
