Perfect, I've added those lines to my configuration. I think it is working properly now.

Contrary to what @a...@koldfront.dk have said [0], > they are _not_ for posting to [news]group only, This is what I wrote: For newsgroups (e.g. Gmane) R sends to the author only, and F sends to the group. (S W sends to both.) For email, you can think of R in Gnus as "Reply", and F as "Reply All". I don't understand how you get from that to '"F" is for newsgroups only' - that is clearly not what I wrote.

Another side effect is that you can inadvertently reply also personally to those emails, so the conversation will not be registered on the list, nor the other participants will see it. To reply this way (for example, this very message) I just press "F", as Dmitry explains. -- Alberto ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

What is the difference between replying and forwarding in mailing lists? > > Should I be doing "F" or "R". ‘r’ and ‘R’¹ are above-mentioned ‘reply to sender only’ commands. Indeed, docstring ( k r) is unclear: | (gnus-summary-reply YANK WIDE VERY-WIDE) | | Start composing a mail reply to the current message. | If prefix argument YANK is non-nil, the original article is yanked | automatically. | If WIDE, make a wide reply. | If VERY-WIDE, make a very wide reply. Manual entry ( K r) is fine, though: | ‘S r’ | ‘r’ | Mail a reply to the author of the current article | (‘gnus-summary-reply’). In other words, these are rarely needed commands. The need to drop extra recipients from reply is rare, and even in these cases itʼs often easier just to purge ‘Cc’ line. As for ‘f’ and ‘F’, they do _not_ stay for ‘forwarding’, but for ‘following-up’. Contrary to what @a...@koldfront.dk have said [0], they are _not_ for posting to [news]group only, but are supposed to be ‘do what I mean’ commands for replying: in Usenet — post to group (S n), in mail — reply to all (S w). ‘DWIM’ breaks, though, when you are reading mail gatewayed to Usenet or an isolated NNTP server such as Gmane. Then you have to mark newsgroups that are really mailing lists first. You can do that on one by one basis by setting ‘to-list’ parameter on them — Iʼve already explained how to do that [1], but really you want to mark all mail-to-news groups at once: (setq gnus-mailing-list-groups (rx bol (opt "nntp" (1+ nonl) ":") (or "gmane." "linux." "mozilla."))) Now you can use ‘f’ / ‘F’ instead of ‘S w’ / ‘S W’ just as intended.
