I had assumed that when I followed up to a message, the header of my reply would read the Newsgroups: line of the message to which I am responding. Your answer implies that this not so, and the behavior about which I'm complaining is normal. You seem to imply that in my previous setup gnus didn't read the Newsgroups: line, but would somehow otherwise know of these groups, even if I had never subscribed to them or killed them. For example, I'm involved in a discussion on a newsgroup, but the OP had distributed his message to several groups, including uk.politics.misc. When I follow up to up his messages, the uk.politics.misc group in my old setup would appear automatically in the "Newsgroups:" line of my outgoing header. Since you may be suggesting that my old gnus somehow knew of uk.politis.misc, I searched in ~/News and the ~/.newsrc* files, but didn't find it. In my old setup, ~/News contained a set of files corresponding to the groups to which I subscribed. For example, linux.debian.user.SCORE, which holds the sole line "(("references"))". My new set up has no such files. In the original setup, In the file for the newsgroup to which I reply to message with multiple addresses, the entry has sets of lines like these: (("references" ("<871x5lp9ve.fsf@teufel.hartford-hwp.com>[ ]*$" nil 732153 r) ("<871x5lp9ve.fsf@teufel.hartford-hwp.com>" nil 732153 s) ... -- Haines Brown KB1GRM
