6.7. Followup-To
The Followup-To header specifies which newsgroup(s) followups should
be posted to.
Followup-To-content = Newsgroups-content / "poster"
The syntax is the same as that of the Newsgroups-content, with the
exception that the magic word "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 magic word "poster" indicates
that the author requests no followups to be sent in response to this
article, only personal replies to the article's reply address.
NOTE: An author who wishes both a personal reply and a followup
post should include a Mail-Copies-To header (6.8).
