An alternative approach - putting this in your .gnus will make Gnus
check whether you _really_ want to send an e-mail in reply instead of
following up



;; prompt for mail replies to newsgroups!!!!!
(defadvice gnus-summary-reply (around reply-in-news activate)
   (interactive)
   (when (or (not (gnus-news-group-p gnus-newsgroup-name))
             (y-or-n-p "REALLY reply with a personal mail? "))
     ad-do-it))
