Given that there's already a "Followup-to:" control line in news, perhaps
a useful feature (no, I can't volunteer, we run notes, and er....)
for netnews would be the ability to specify that followups are to
be MAILED TO THE SENDER.  Perhaps:  "Followup-to: originator-by-mail"
or some such.  

This would make it necessary for the followers-up to explicitly 
override the senders preference if they wanted to post news rather than
mail to a "mailme" article.

Of course, if you pull on the reins too hard, they break....
