It is nice to be able to be prompted for Newsgroup and Subject when
posting an article.  There is, however, one way to currently get that
behaviour.   I don't like the "Are you sure?" question on novice,
though.  Here are somethings that I think would be nicer about
prompting when posting:

        o If you are in a Subject buffer and "a" (Post a new article)
is selected, don't prompt for Newsgroup.
        o Have a variable, gnus-postnews-header-prompts or such, that
allows you to change which articles that you wanted to be prompted.
Most times I don't wanted to be prompted for distribution; 99% of the
time I just stick with what it was.  I also would like summary to be
prompted for.
        o Be able to deactivate the "Are you sure?" message without
removing the prompting for subject, etcetera.

I suppose it could be easily implemented as yet another hook.
