Further, there was no followup: newsgroup given, so I added > bionet.general. Was this good? What you are experiencing is a bug in your particular version of the news software. You took the correct action of editing the address as above but, when the software is working correctly, you should have your followup automatically addressed to the correct newsgroup. If you see "bionet.followup" in your mail header when composing your followup to a message, you need to get a patch for the program. Eliot Lear is on vacation this week, but I'll ask him to post something about this when he gets back. He can also be reached at lear@genbank.bio.net. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson GenBank Manager kristoff@genbank.bio.net
