3.2.2 Followup-To
The Followup-To header specifies to which newsgroup(s) followups
should be posted.
followup-to = "Followup-To:" SP ( newsgroup-list / poster-text )
CRLF
poster-text = [FWS] %d112.111.115.116.101.114 [FWS]
; "poster" in lower-case
The syntax is the same as that of the Newsgroups header (Section
3.1.5, with the exception that the magic word "poster" (which is
always lowercase) means that followups should be mailed to the
article's reply address rather than posted. In order to improve
interoperability with deployed clients, followup agents MAY choose to
recognize case-insensitive forms such as "Poster".
