I know this is a silly question in a newsgroup, but can anybody tell me
the right way to ryply to articles with gnus?
I tried r, f and S n. With r, the reply was an ordinary mail. With f and
S n, I could see and read my reply in the newsgroup, but it looked
different from the replies from other people in the summary buffer.
Thanks!

I usually reply with F (shift f, that is):
,----[ C-h f gnus-summary-followup-with-original RET ]
| gnus-summary-followup-with-original is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-msg.el'.
| (gnus-summary-followup-with-original N &optional FORCE-NEWS)
|
| Compose a followup to an article and include the original article.
| The text in the region will be yanked. If the region isn't
| active, the entire article will be yanked.
|
| [back]
`----
Can you be more specific about how it looks different?

There are a few other little tricks you might not already know.
When you use (shift) F as advised by Charles you get the intire post
quoted in the reply. Sometimes thats what you want but somtimes you
only want some of it.
You can hilight text in a message that you want to quote in your reply
then when you press F only that text is quoted.
If you press F and get the whole post quoted you can pare it down by
setting your region around what you want quoted then pressing:
Cntrl-c Cntrl-v
