How do you reply? In my Thunderbird both Reply button in toolbar and
the Ctrl+R shortcut seem to default to "followup" for newsgroup posts.
Only "reply all" or "reply to sender only" include email address.

Also if you do accidentally send a mail via the newsgroup account it
is possible its outbox / sent folder is configured differently from the
email account. Possibly the mail ended up under "Local folders".

I have the same problem as Dick. You have to press the Followup button. 
I never tried the shortcuts though.

My 'Outbox'folder in Thunderbird is always empty. However, look into the 
'Sent/Local Folders' folder: there is where the messages go, from 
'Followup' as well as from 'reply'.

I did find the mail in Local Folders after I didn't need it.

In the message header pane, right-click -> Customize.  Remove the reply 
button. I never hit Reply anymore. ;)
