Yeah, then I have to either duplicate the parameters or move the
drafts groups into the same topic as each group that has parameters
and move the parameters to the topic.

As Gnus has the information about what group the draft belongs to, it
would seem possible for it to apply the parameters from there.

Anyway, it doesn't bother me enough to start poking at the code - I
was hoping there was some setup I had overlooked that somebody
remembered :-)

If I zoom in and ignore the general case, your suggestion could work
for the topic of groups that I get hit by this the most... I will try
that.

Thanks for the reply!
