6.7. Followup-To
The Followup-To-header specifies which newsgroup(s) followups should
be posted to.
header =/ Followup-To-header
Followup-To-header = "Followup-To" ":" SP Followup-To-content
*( ";" extension-parameter )
| Followup-To-content = Newsgroups-content /
| [FWS] %x70.6F.73.74.65.72 [FWS]
| ; which is a case-sensitive "poster"
The syntax is the same as that of the Newsgroups-content, with the
addition that the keyword "poster" is allowed. In the absence of a
Followup-To-header, the default newsgroup(s) for a followup are those
in the Newsgroups-header, and for this reason the Followup-To-header
SHOULD NOT be included if it just duplicates the Newsgroups-header.
A Followup-To-header consisting of the keyword "poster" indicates
that the poster requests no followups to be sent in response to this
article, only personal replies to the article's reply address.
| Although the keyword "poster" is case-sensitive, followup agents MAY
| choose to regognize case insensitive forms such as "Poster".
NOTE: A poster who wishes both a personal reply and a followup
post should include an appropriate Mail-Copies-To-header (6.8).
