Is there a variable to tell gnus to always set the reply-to field to my
email address??
And is that anyway a good idea in general?
Given that I don't find other ways to collect better all my
"conversations" at least I would like to receive mails on new posts...

Thanks,
Andrea

No. But you can do it via (info "(gnus)Posting Styles").

No. From == Reply-To is useless.

Are you talking about newsgroups, mailing lists or personal mail? I
think you misunderstood what Reply-To means.

For news postings, there is Mail-Copies-To, see
<http://www.newsreaders.com/misc/mail-copies-to.html> which is
supported by some newsreaders.

Bye, Reiner.

It can be made automatic by setting the variable
message-default-headers in .gnus.

For example,

(setq message-default-headers (concat
"From: Jane Q Nemo <ne...@nihil.foo>\n"
"Reply-To: Jane Q Nemo <si...@nihil.foo>\n"
"Fcc: ~/myOutBox\n"
))
