Question: Is there still a need for the following code in intrp.c?
if (h = instr(s,"net.general")) {
off = h-s;
strncpy(scrbuf,s,off+4);
strcpy(scrbuf+off+4,"followup");
safecpy(scrbuf+off+12,h+11,sizeof(scrbuf));
s = scrbuf;
}
I understand that this is part of the original rn code, when all responses
in net.general were routed to net.followup. Is it still really necessary?
Here's the problem. We have a local group we set up called vpnet.general.
When we use "F" in (t)rn to respond to any postings, the Newsgroups header
reads "vpnet.followup" and must be edited. We've edited the intrp.c
code here and suggest that if this code is no longer needed, it be deleted
from the official release.
