Description Neal Becker 2008-12-19 19:09:09 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I use knode to read maillists via gmane.  I am getting complaints that knode adds bogus followup-to headers.

Please add a configurable option to not automatically add this header.  I expect this should be done on a per-account basis (e.g, all of gmane should not add this by default).

I have a similar problem, except that my $work NNTP server seems to actually respond with:

440 FollowUp-To header has been disabled.

I need a way to disable this header in order to post via knode.  In my case, I would like to be able to do that on an account-by-account basis.

This isn't just a wishlist item to me - I actually can't use knode in the manner the developers intended due to a broken corporate policy.  On the other hand, it's not a bug per se...

It seems that KNode-4.3.3 adds a Followup-To: header pointing to the newsgroup the message is being posted.

This is not really a good thing according to the RFC :
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5536#section-3.2.6 :

The Followup-To header field SHOULD NOT appear in a message, unless its content is different from the content of the Newsgroups header field.

But this is the case...

SVN commit 1079182 by otrichet:

Place a hint inside the followup-to line edit when there are more than 2 groups selected.

Previous changes to the composer already remove the automatic modification of the followup-to headers:
The current and future behaviour is not to automatically set/change the followup-to headers.

Warning against posting to more than on groups without setting the followup-to will remain.
