followup won't go to list that uses MFT

followup won't go to list that uses MFT

[Ted Stern]

I am subscribed to several mailing lists (including this one).  In
each of these, I set the to-list and to-address parameters to the list
address.  In all of the lists, except one, followups go to the list.

In one group, however, all messages contain the Mail-Followup-To:
header.  In that particular group, 'a' will send to the group, but
followups go only to the original poster.

BTW, this wouldn't have even come up if I could get nntp to tunnel
through my socks5 proxy, because then I could read the group on
gmane.

Is there some other group parameter I need to set to respect the MFT
header?

Thanks,

Ted

I've worked around this problem with indirect nntp to gmane.org, using
rlogin-then-telnet and ssh.
