Followup George not reply. It's caught me out a few times!

Thanks Joe. Reassuring to know I am not alone with this irritating
aspect of an otherwise OK bit of software.


I think that back in the "old days" those were the standard definitions
of "follow-up" and "reply". Turnpike, which is my own newsreader, uses
them the same way. But if you hit Reply instead of Follow-up, Turnpike
does at least give you a warning message and ask if you're sure.
