This would require some reliable way of determining when a mail message has also been posted. Unfortunately, there isn't one. (Some programs think that the presence of a Newsgroups header indicates the message has been posted, but some news readers also include that header in all mailed replies regardless of whether they're also posted.) One suggestion that I had that I believe is on the Red to-do list is a keystroke that will check if there is a news article with the same message ID as the current mail message. That should let you catch most of them. -- Russ Allbery (rra@cs.stanford.edu)
