I suggest you have "one behaviour for some groups, a different
behaviour for others". It depends on the common style of the group,
not whether it is "news" or "mail". For example, many news groups are
echoed to a mailing list, but that doesn't affect the common style.

Maybe there's a way to set this with posting styles? If not, perhaps
there should be?
