This has been posted to let you test the lack of a "Followup-To:" feature in
2.10.2 news.
First type "H" and look at the header of this article: you'll see the line
"Followup-To: junk". Then type "f". Under 2.10.2 you'll be put into
postnews, but the "Newsgroups:" line will say "net.test" rather than
"junk". Guilty as charged!
(When you quit postnews, be sure and delete all the lines in the buffer
first -- I don't want to be responsible for flooding net.test...)
By the way, if the readnews/vnews "H" command doesn't show a "Followup-To:"
line in the header, then it means that some sites are doing something worse
than ignoring "Followup-To:" lines, namely deleting them before passing news
along to other hosts.
