Well, it seems a bit backward because I use
gnus-secondary-select-methods
to *add* stuff, not to remove it. I have no clue as how
to solve it, anymore than how I do it. This is how I
manage mails, mailing lists, and Usenet:
;; I'm on the w3m mailing list. Based on the subject,
;; the below code will filter ordinary mails from those
;; from the w3m list.
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("mail.w3m" "^Subject:.*emacs-w3m.*")
("mail.misc" "") ))
;; The below is about *sending* - it sets the signature
;; (same for everything), but when answering a *mail*,
;; it adds the Newsgroup: header if I were to change my
;; mind and make it a Usenet post instead (or "as
;; well"), *or* as is a much more common case, if I
;; send a Usenet post and when I write it I think,
;; "Man, this would be right up X's alley", but he is
;; not on Usenet, so then I need inserted a To: header
;; to make it a mail as well.
;;
;; While we are on this subject - perhaps that is a bad
;; idea in terms of spamming? Should I program it to,
;; when I send to Usenet, *first* send is as a mail,
;; remove the To: header, and then send it to Usenet
;; (i.e., without the header)? But I did this a lot
;; and no one ever complained.
