You could use 'f' (follow up) instead of 'r'.  If your own name is in
the message-dont-reply-to-names, this should do what you want.

Thank you! That works perfectly.

Another question: can I get a warning if I press r by mistake?

Somewhat drastic would be to re-define the key (untested)

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map 'r
            '(lambda ()
              (interactive)
              (message "James, you want to use f[F] not r[R]")
              (sit-for 1)))

Yup, it works, as does the <info://> thingy.  But, alas, where's the
folding.  

I'm waiting for Steve to create a new package (not that I would really
need it, but the cheering crowds :-)).

Hi Reiner,

I don't mean to be a pedant but those man pages (for 5.10.2) don't
clearly explain what followup means (neither for news or mail):

========
`S f'
`f'
     Post a followup to the current article (`gnus-summary-followup').
========

Best regards,
-James

The term "followup" is not Gnus specific and obviously it would make
no sense to explain it everywhere it appears in the manual.  Therefor,
we have the node "Terminology" where many terms are explained.  You
can also find that node, when looking up "followup" in the Index:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Index") ]
| * follow up:                             Terminology.
| * followup:                              Composing Messages.
`----

,----[ (info "(gnus)Terminology") ]
| "follow up"
|      Post an article to the current newsgroup responding to the article
|      you are reading.
`----

What do you think?  Feel free to suggest improvements!

Bye, Reiner.

I never really could figure this out.  Usually, in a news group, f
posts a followup to that group.  I think that a wide reply means to
address the To/Cc folks even in that case.

So f is actually a bit magic.
