Subject: How does PINE determine if a message should be replied to newsgroups

I have a message with these headers:

	From: [email-masked] (Dean Johnson)
	Subject: Strange message in Console
	Date: 10 Jul 1997 03:25:14 GMT
	Message-ID: <[email-masked]>
	Reply-To: [email-masked]
	Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.sysadmin
	To: [email-masked]
	X-SpamChecker: PASSED
	X-Formail-Reply-To: [email-masked]

when I reply to this message, it does not ask me if I want to POST my
reply (ie to the newsgroup 'comp.sys.next.sysadmin') it just asks me if I
want to send it to all the original folks via email.

I asked this before and got no responses... or our news server was having
problems.  Is there something besides the 'Newsgroups' line that it checks
for??

Thanks

ps -- please CC me if possible, since our Usenet connection is
occasionally flaky.

>want to send it to all the original folks via email.

Perhaps it looks for a "Followup-To" header?

Perhaps the existance of the "Reply-To" header precludes posting?

Perhaps your news server prohibits posting, so Pine doesn't even offer
the option?

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

It looks for a 'Path: ' line.

Someone told me there is a one line mention of this in the release notes.
