Documentation

If non-nil, Gnus requests confirmation when replying to news.

This is done because new users often reply by mistake when reading news. This can also be a function receiving the group name as the only parameter, which should return non-nil if a confirmation is needed; or a regexp, in which case a confirmation is asked for if the group name matches the regexp.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.1.
