What do you mean by "Gnus" groups? Newsgroups, as provided by gmane for
instance?

Unfortunately, some of the lists I'm subscribed to don't have any
newsgroup counterpart.

A further check of the list's headers puzzled me: `Reply-To:` is the
list address, not the sender's one. Why Gnus doesn't take it into
account when I reply with `r` or `F`?
