The problem with allowing FUT:poster (as pointed out before) is that web
posters get no chance to override it when they reply. You could get around
this by allowing "poster" in the "newsgroups" field too (probably only
without any other NGs), causing it to send mail rather than posting. See
also suggestion below.

Most allow you to specify an email in the CC, but I don't know of any that
support the text "poster" in either the NG list or the CC - you have to
specify the actual email. They only allow "poster" in the FUT. Of course,
most news clients have "reply all" or similar, which fills the NGs and puts
the poster's email in the CC.
Maybe, instead of allowing "poster" in NG, have a "CC poster" checkbox,
which is "off" by default, but "on" if FUT of the replied-to msg includes
"poster". You'd also have to allow no NGs if CC poster is "on". Maybe also
have such a checkbox on FUT, which automgically adds "poster" to the FUT.
