I used > Mutt previously and found those options handy. This is old thread but I'll reply because I just found an answer. Even though this might be obvious to many of you I'll post my summary here in this same thread. So Gnus already has this functionality that I was asking for. :-) If a mailing list has Reply-To pointing to the list, configure group parameters like this: (broken-reply-to . t) (to-address . "list@address") Now in summary buffer command "F" will reply just to the mailing list (list@address), "R" will reply to the original author only and "S W" will reply to all ("To" original author and "Cc" to list and possibly other people). It took a while to figure that out. :-)
