I discovered C-u 0 C-c C-C so I've set `gnus-post-method' to 'current
instead. Neat.

I added the variable below to configure which groups are considered to
be "bulletin board" or "news-like" to make followups be news
automatically.

Perhaps I should make "^#news.*" the default? I think that's a pretty
standard prefix for Usenet news via IMAP. Do anyone export news to
IMAP? If you post to a news mailbox, is it exported with NNTP to other
news servers?


nnimap-news-groups's value is 
nil

Documentation:
IMAP support a news-like mode, also known as bulletin board mode,
where replies is sent via IMAP instead of SMTP.

This variable should contain a regexp matching groups where you want
replies to be stored to the mailbox directly.

Example:
  '("^[^I][^N][^B][^O][^X].*$")

This will match all groups not beginning with "INBOX".

Note that there is nothing technically different between mail-like and
news-like mailboxes. If you wish to have a group with todo items or
similar which you wouldn't want to set up a mailing list for, you can
use this to make replies go directly to the group.
