Yep! I'm still learning how to do this stuff in Thunderbird. There's a
followup which will automatically put in the newsgroup, but it doesn't
put in the followup-to reply email address, it seems. And Reply puts in
the reply to, but not the newsgroup. It's odd.

The "Followup-To" header is akin to an email "Reply-To" header. That is,

it's a "special" indicator that's used to redirect replies ("Followups"

in Usenet parlance) away from what the "defaults" would otherwise

indicate.

In an email, you'd have something like this

| From: noreply@company.com

| To: user@email.com

| Reply-To: info@company.com

Such that if "user@email.com" hit "reply" in their mail client, the

email would be sent to "info@company.com" instead of "noreply".

Usenet is similar, although instead of indicating an email address you

want someone to reply to, you are indicating which newsgroup you want to

read their reply in. For example, let's say I was asking for a good

Gemini server to run on a Linux VM. My initial headers would be:

| Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.gemini,alt.os.linux

| From: ( me :) )

| Subject: Looking for a Gemini server to run on Debian

| Followup-To: alt.os.linux

Which will send my initial message to BOTH groups, but anyone responding

would only be sending their message to the alt.os.linux newsgroup,

instead of both.

HTH :)
