This will be used 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 `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
`fa.4ad-l'.  This is a real newsgroup, but the server has gotten the
articles from a mail-to-news gateway.  Posting directly to this group
is therefore impossible--you have to send mail to the mailing list
address instead.

The gnus-group-split mail splitting mechanism will behave as if this
address was listed in gnus-group-split Addresses (see below).")
