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 an appropriate Mail-Copies-To-header (6.8).
