- This information may be of use to anyone who wants to post a followup
- article anonymously.
-
- To post a followup article, most newsreaders support some version of
- the "F" command, that calls a news posting program and includes some
- of the header information from the original article. It is not easy
- to use this command and have the article posted anonymously--from my
- site, outgoing news passes through a select few other sites and then
- is propagated ever more widely, and none of these sites has a way of
- making the article anonymous.
-
- So if you want to post a followup that is tracked by many of the
- current threaded-type newsreaders, use the anonymous server as you
- always do (mail to alt.transgendered@anon.penet.fi, for example) and
- just edit in a "References: <message-id>" header line that contains
- the message id(s) of the article(s) you're following up.
-
- The result will be, for those who have threaded news readers, a
- discussion more easily followed.
