Bung this snippet into your .gnus file. Gnus will then ask you if you
REALLY want to send an email when you are in a news group.

(defadvice gnus-summary-reply (around reply-in-news activate)
  (interactive)
  (when (or (not (gnus-news-group-p gnus-newsgroup-name))
            (y-or-n-p "REALLY reply with a personal mail? "))
    ad-do-it))
