I wasn't completely clear here, but I meant the code in 
header_set_visibility that _does_ do a check for "visible & 
h->visible_mask", so it checks whether it is in the mask. This prevented 
the Post header from popping up in compose.

Thus, in my patch, I uncommented the "& h->visible_mask" part there and 
that pretty much solved it.

It would be nice indeed, but how should it be done? Just add a menu item 
with "Add new Post header" or something to the composer? Reply-to-all 
currently only answers to the current newsgroup (though it does also 
reply to the sender of the message)...

Hmm.... I don't think so now. It does TLS 
(http://www.karlsruhe.org/rfc/draft-ietf-nntpext-tls-nntp-01.txt). Don't 
know anything about how TLS works though...
