Oh, ok.  Sorry I didn't read carefully enough.

Forté Agent does -- when I went to reply to Ross' early message, I got a
popup window, giving me the options of replying to the post by email,
posting a reply to the newsgroup, or both.

Unfortunately, my MAPI settings are currently broken,[1] so I couldn't
do a thorough test.

1) Netscape 4.7 highjacked MAPI when I installed it (without warning,
AFAIK), and didn't restore it when I uninstalled.  And Notes has no
"restore settings" options, AFAICT.

(...) I wasn't suggesting we disallow "poster" FUTs, just combinations "newsgroup, poster" FUTs - are there any NNTP clients that support that kind of thing? actually let you reply to the group and the email? Dan (24 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
