   Not to be confused with Thunderbird's - select   
   message/rt.click/'Followup to Newsgroup' which yields the same as the   
   'Reply' icon(in news mode when Reply is added to the 'Menu Bar')   
     both reply to the 'To" newsgroup(s)   
      
   ...and unlike the message pane options(Reply icon, which replies to   
   sender's email) or Followup icon/Followup-To option
