I agree completely.

But that's not the issue that started all this.  The request was, as the
subject says, to "allow posting & FUT to member email".  This issue is solved
by the use of "Followup-To: poster".

Well arguably it's not solved. No more or less than the problem of 2
termites in your house would be solved by blowing the entire house up,
anyway. (it's late, forgive my poor analogy, but the idea is that the fix
isn't a fix if it's worse than the problem)

The original question has been addressed: you can allow posting & FUT to member
email.  The fact that a bug in the LUGNET web interface has been brought to
light doesn't change that.  It's a new issue.

  Re: Allow web users to override "FUT: poster"
 
(...) So lets solve it. Can the web interface be changed to bring up the web reply screen when replying to posts with FUT set to "poster"[1]? ROSCO [1] What happens if you set FUT to (eg) lugnet.admin.suggest...ns,poster? I've tried it here to see. (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
