I do not demonize any solution. As I stated to lyther or whatever his name
is: I do this because I do not have time to read ever newsgroup I post to.
I usually post alert type posts...
Now, I use the followup-to to point to a newsgroup I do try to check daily.
This is out of respect for someone who replies to me. If you are repling
but do not care if it is to me, set your headers any way you wish...
Now, what specifically are you having a problem with? What does your
newsreader do when it sees a "Followup-to". Please describe the problem so,
at least, I can understand it.
Honestly, my newsreader works well with or without the "followup-to"...which
is why I do not understand your problem....
