Perhaps there are none for you, but this is an indication that
your Gmane setup is read-only, and that you are still sending
messages via e-mail.  One potential negative consequence is that
such a setup requires both an NNTP and an e-mail account to be
fully working (read-write).  I think you will achieve the same
effect by submitting via SMTP alone.

The fact that your T-bird adds e-mail addresses while replying
means that it is not sending messages via NNTP.  In order to
troubleshoot why replying via NNTP-only (wihout any e-mail in
the To: header) does not work for you, you may need to enable
and examine the log file, according to:

   <https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging#Thunderbird_Logging>;

because T-Bird may be playing dirty and hiding error messages
from the user, (which is one of the reasons I don't like it).

Since you have both e-mail and NNTP accounts inside T-Bird, it
may be using the wrong account for replies (e-mail instead of
NNTP).  Perhaps there is a way to select the correct account
while replying, as well as to set it up by default.
