Could you please try I fetching old messages by pressing RET on a
message-id or with ^ in Summary buffer works, too?

That's the thing which doesn't work for me...

Why `S n' or `S N' and not `f' or `F', since you didn't get the message
by mail but by news?

,----[ (info "(gnus)Summary Post Commands") ]
| `S f'
| `f'
|      Post a followup to the current article (`gnus-summary-followup').
| 
| `S n'
|      Post a followup to the current article via news, even if you got
|      the message through mail (`gnus-summary-followup-to-mail').
`----

But that should not cause the problem, I think.

,----[ (info "(gnus)Posting Server") ]
|    When posting news, Message usually invokes `message-send-news'
| (*note News Variables: (message)News Variables.).  Normally, Gnus will

| 
|      (setq gnus-post-method '(nnspool ""))
| 
|    Now, if you've done this, and then this server rejects your article,
| or this server is down, what do you do then?  To override this variable
| you can use a non-zero prefix to the `C-c C-c' command to force using
| the "current" server, to get back the default behavior, for posting.

Reading that, the correct entry in your ~/.gnus.el should possibly look
like that:

(setq gnus-refer-article-method
      '(current
        (nnweb "google"
               (nnweb-type google)
               (gnus-post-method '(nntp "your.news-server.example")))))

Please replace "your.news-server.example" with the correct address (or
the select method name) and give it a try.

Bye,
Tassilo
