+The group parameters store information local to a particular group.
+Here's an example group parameter list:
+
+@example
+((to-address . "ding@@gnus.org")
+ (auto-expire . t))
+@end example
+
+We see that each element consists of a "dotted pair"---the thing before
+the dot is the key, while the thing after the dot is the value. All the
+parameters have this form @emph{except} local variable specs, which are
+not dotted pairs, but proper lists.
+
+The following group parameters can be used:
@table @code
@item to-address
@cindex to-address
-If the group parameter list contains an element that looks like
-@code{(to-address . "some@@where.com")}, that address will be used by
-the backend when doing followups and posts. This is primarily useful in
-mail groups that represent closed mailing lists---mailing lists where
-it's expected that everybody that writes to the mailing list is
-subscribed to it. Since using this parameter ensures that the mail only
-goes to the mailing list itself, it means that members won't receive two
-copies of your followups.

Using @code{to-address} will actually work whether the group is foreign
or not. Let's say there's a group on the server that is called
@item to-list
@cindex to-list
-If the group parameter list has an element that looks like
-@code{(to-list . "some@@where.com")}, that address will be used when
-doing a @kbd{a} in that group. It is totally ignored when doing a
-followup---except that if it is present in a news group, you'll get mail
-group semantics when doing @kbd{f}.

If you do an @kbd{a} command in a mail group and you have neither a

@item newsgroup
@cindex newsgroup
-If this symbol is present in the group parameter list, Gnus will treat
-all responses as if they were responses to news articles. This can be
-useful if you have a mail group that's really a mirror of a news group.

@cindex gcc-self
-If this symbol is present in the group parameter list and set to

-group. If it is present and set to @code{none}, no @code{Gcc:} header
