When I do `S W' on your article, I get:

| To: Seweryn Kokot <s.kokot@po.opole.pl>
| Cc: info-gnus-english@gnu.org

I.e. on sending this message, Gnus will send two mails.  One to the
author (you) and one to the list info-gnus-english.

If you follow up via news (`F') to a Gmane group,
"gmane.emacs.gnus.user" is translated to "info-gnus-english@gnu.org"
on Gmane.org and the mail is sent from there.  

So in principle, sending directly by mail should be less error-prone.
But the mail sent from Gmane probably uses a different Envelope From
than your direct mail.  Subscriber-only (or moderated) mailing lists
may decide based on the envelope From.  But I'm not sure.  Maybe
someone on gmane.dicuss (or the FAQ) knows more about it.

Parse error.

`F' plus `C-c C-t'?

Bye, Reiner.
