the followup does work Terry R. This is coming from your
message from the FF group. It only works when someone
replies to it.
If you replied the the original message, and added a "TO:
Thunderbird", and placed a "Followup To: Thunderbird" then
you would have a message in FF and one in TB. Then who ever
replied to your message in the FF one, it would have gone to
TB.

Thanks. I saw Miles' post in FF and thought he had replied to my post,
but he must have replied to his own.
When I replied in FF, I left the "Newsgroup" set to FF and set the FU to
TB below it. You're saying I should have used "To"?
I thought a copy would be put in TB right away rather than waiting for a
reply in the "old" group.

no, it wasn't. It was a brand new posting.

Yes, set another "To" to Thunderbird, then the message would
have been posted in the FF group AND in the TB group. If
you also set a "Followup To" Thunderbird, then whoever
replied to your posting in FF would be posted in the TB
group only.

No. You only had one "To" setting and one "Followup To".
So it only went to the "To".

I just checked. He replied to his own post. Nevertheless, I should have
checked that first.

Great. Chris could have included that in his post also.

Probably won't be doing that often, so after I forget, I'll probably
make the same stupid errors next time!

'To' and 'Reply-To" are for email, not newsgroups. 'To' is for any email
addresses, you want the message sent to. 'Reply-To' is for which email
address, you want email replies sent to.
'Newsgroup' and 'Followup-To' are for newsgroups, not email. 'Newsgroup'
is for any newsgroups you want your message sent to. The 'Followup-To'
header indicates, which newsgroup(s) you want replies to go to.

That's what I thought. Thanks,
