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
*( ";" other-parameter )
Followup-To-content = Newsgroups-content / [FWS] "poster" [FWS]
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.
NOTE: A poster who wishes both a personal reply and a followup
post should include a Mail-Copies-To-header (6.8).
