         ridiculous newsgroup choices to get it down to three or four.
2. Add a header called "Followup-To:" to your posting which lists
   the newsgroups where you would like replies to article to be
   directed.
3. Mention in the article of the body that you're doing this,
   for example:

      "I think this discussion doesn't belong in comp.lang.python, so
      I'm setting Followup-To accordingly to omit that group."

Thank you for the information - I had not been aware of this possibility.

Followup-To is exactly that: a suggestion. Users agents can (and do)
prompt the user whether they want to honor Followup-To or ignore it.

Yes, my UA, Gnus, did indeed prompt me.

Followup-To is much better than just removing newsgroups from the
Newsgroups line, because doing so fragments the thread without
warning.

But will there be any difference for the newsgroup which has been
removed?  If the follow-up suggestion is adhered to, the thread will
just end in the same way it would if the group had been removed from the
list of newsgroups, won't it?
