Other Header Fields

The middle pane of the Compose window has more fields for optional header information.  You can see these by scrolling the pane or resizing it with the split bar. You do not need to fill any of these in. They are provided for full Usenet compatibility.  

The Keywords field and the Summary field are used by some newsreaders as search keys and are used by readers to judge whether or not the article is of interest.  InterNews  does not display these fields with the article directly. They are included in the pop-up header for an article.  

The Reply-To field is a place to put your electronic mailing address if it is different than the address that InterNews  generates. When you post an article, InterNews  generates your address in the form of “Jane.Doe@dartmouth.edu”. [When you post an article, InterNews  uses the address that you typed in the authentication dialog.]

The Followup-To field is used to redirect a topic. If you want responses to your article to go to another newsgroup, or to several newsgroups, put the names of those newsgroups in this field. Note: If you put the word “poster” in this field, people responding to your article will be asked to reply directly by mail.

The Organization field identifies the place where you work or study.  You can change it or make it more specific. You can also put this information in the signature of your articles.
