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".
