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-content, 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).
