Followup-To

Also known as: Followup-To header

A header that redirects replies to groups other than the ones an article was posted to. An announcement crossposted to five groups can set Followup-To to a single discussion group so responses collect in one place. The special value poster asks that replies go by email instead of to the network. Newsreaders honor it automatically, though it is advisory and can be overridden before sending.
