Subject: Re: Improving the handling of conversations in Internet mail
Do you mean that if "Followup-To: foo" where foo is an e-mail address would cause problems if it occurred in Netnews? What kind of problems would it cause? What would happen? As I understand it, most header fields are the same in e-mail and in Netnews, and the recipients of a message can be both Newsgroups and e-mail recipients at the same time. Or am I wrong there? If the "Date:" field and "From:" field and "Reply-to:" field can occur, with the same meaning, in both News articles and mail messages, why not also "Followup-To:"? In fact, I will test and see what happens. I hope I will not cause havoc by sending a test message.
