Description Diedrich Ehlerding 2011-08-23 18:53:44 UTC 
Version:           4.4 pre (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

If an article shall be posted only into one single newsgroup, knode adds a superfluous header line "Followup-To" containing that very same newsgroup. However, in thios case, the Followup-To header line should be omitted. Previous versions of knode (0.9.x, 0.10.x ) didnt contain that bug.

This is not only cosmetic; it is a violation of RFC 5336 stating 
|  [...] The
|  Followup-To header field SHOULD NOT appear in a message, unless its
|  content is different from the content of the Newsgroups header field.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
post an article into just one single group


Expected Results:  
omit the Followup-To header line if only one newsgroup is affected

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
