*  Should follow-ups automatically be force-set to the special value 'poster'?

Maybe. Can you elaborate?

'poster' is a special value for the 'Followup-To' header field.

If an article contains

Followup-To: poster

then when someone posts a follow-up message, the follow-up message is e-mailed
to the original poster (as given by the 'From' header field), and it is not
posted to the newsgroups given in the 'Newsgroups' header field.

Free Agent asks a question, other clients may act differently (always
e-mailing without asking, or possibly ignoring it).
