The help here says:

---
(gnus-define-group-parameter
 to-list
 :function-document
 "Return GROUP's to-list."
 :variable-document
 "*Alist of group regexps and correspondent to-lists."
 :variable-group gnus-group-parameter
 :parameter-type '(gnus-email-address :tag "To List")
 :parameter-document "\
This address will be used when doing a `a' in the 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
`f'.

Which is pretty confusing.  Hm.

When you say you reply, do you mean the `f' command?
