Forwarding is `C-c C-f'. > I have always used 'S-w' or 'S-W' for replying [1], but 'f' and 'F' seems to be identical. The former is under 'mail commands' [2] and the latter under 'post commands' [3] in the documentation. As I do not use usenet groups for other than reading, I haven't bothered about learning the subtleties of posting, but as both mail and news are treated the same in gnus, *why are there different commands available for mail and news*? EDIT: Some further reading gives that Message can use different functions for replying and posting. The defaults are nil, so presumably this implies identical behaviour for mailing and posting? ,----[ C-h v message-followup-to-function RET ] | message-followup-to-function is a variable defined in `message.el'. | Its value is nil | | Documentation: | If non-nil, function that should return a list of headers. | This function should pick out addresses from the To, Cc, and From headers | and respond with new To and Cc headers. `---- ,----[ C-h v message-reply-to-function RET ] | message-reply-to-function is a variable defined in `message.el'. | Its value is nil | | Documentation: | If non-nil, function that should return a list of headers. | This function should pick out addresses from the To, Cc, and From headers | and respond with new To and Cc headers. `---- I also found the following note on the 'mail-followup-to' header useful as an introduction (for anyone else who have not bothered about this) http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-drums-mail-followup-to-00.txt Footnotes: [1] (info "(message)Wide Reply") [2] (info "(gnus)Summary Mail Commands") [3] (info "(gnus)Summary Post Commands") -- Johnny
