By the way - does it actually move the posts, or just sets the FUT on
them? From what I can see, posts that were "corrected" are still in
their original newsgroups?
Also, I guess a blank O-FUT header signifies that there was no original
FUT, but it was added afterwards... Perhaps the web interface should do
some magic there, to make it more clear? Show a non-clickable
"<blank>" if the header is empty, or something along those lines?
