Hi. How would I configure gnus to reply to "From:" and also follow-up to
"Newsgroups:" at the same time?

Default behavior is just follow-up to "Newsgroups:", with or without
quoting:

  F - gnus-summary-followup-with-original
  f - gnus-summary-followup

Also, is there a particular etiquette w.r.t. this?
Thanks.

Don't do it, is the usual etiquette.

(Unless the poster specifically asks for an email copy. In my experience
that is very rare indeed).

Thanks Adam. The majority of followups I have received since switching
to gnus + gmane have been a reply to my email and the list; hence my
question.

Oh, I thought you were asking about newsgroups.

My experience is that it varies way more on mailing lists - some people
always send a personal copym as well as to the list.

I find that annoying, personally (I read the mailinglist!) - but the
etiquette is far less clear-cut when it comes to mailing lists.

"Only" sending to the mailing list is never wrong, in my humble opinion,
though.


  Best regards,

    Adam
