I think what Didier should have done is decide where he actually wanted to
post the message in the first place. Which is why confusion with top
messages in a tree and FUT can abound. Most people generally will simply
read right past anything saying FUT is directed, and unless there is a way
to write it in the equivalent of very large letters in red ink that will be
automatically display on the newsreader's preview pane on the screen, people
will continue to read right past the FUT announcements in newsgroup posts.

I thank you for your comments. However, I feel to simply put it where you
want it to go and not FUT people to newsgroups they don't normally frequent
is the way to go.
He did solve his problem though, apparently it's another MS IE "feature"
whereby they decided not to support .PNG format and so have made .PNG images
with alpha channel information go blank without warning. ;)
