I would suggest keeping the screen the same, but if the user clicks
"Reply" it would take you to a new page that explains "The author of
this message has set Followup-To: to 'poster', indicating that he or
she wishes any replies to be sent via e-mail rather than posted to
LUGNET," followed by a "MAILTO:" link and a button for "Override this
request and send reply to the newsgroup," which takes you to the
regular reply page.

I tested on two "regular" NNTP servers and this (including a newsgroup
as well as "poster") is allowed there too. But I think disallowing it
would be an improvement, and so I would support that, though I don't
feel too strongly either way.
