Just answer the question (y)es or (n)o if you want to post and if you 
want to (r)eply make a reply and if you want to (f)orward do that and if 
you want to do something else RTFM, and if you think it's improper to 
clutter up the e-mail slot of someone you don't know, then don't send 
them a copy.  Am I missing something here or am I the only one who has 
read the instructions??  Only a thought ... G'Day.

When I use pine to reply to a newsgroup posting, am I _only_ sending my 
message to the newsgroup, or am I also sending a duplicate to the e-mail 
box of the person who wrote the original?

To disagree with many of the postings on the "privacy" issue, it would 
seem to be improper to clutter up the e-mail slot of someone I don't know 
and don't do business with with my newsgroup responses.
