[net.news.b] "Orphaned Response" filter

The response to my offer of a filter to remove those obnoxious "orphaned
responses" was so enthusiastic that I decided to post it again.

This goes in inews.c:

***************
*** 560,565
  		xxit(1);
  	}
  
  	if (is_ctl) {
  		control(&header);
  		localize("control");

--- 569,579 -----
  		xxit(0);
  	}
  
+ 	if (!strcmp(header.title, "Re: Orphaned Response")) {
+ 		logerr("Rejected orphaned response");
+ 		xxit(0);
+ 	}
+ 
  	if (is_ctl) {
  		control(&header);
  		localize("control");
