8.6.  Duties of a Followup Agent

   A Followup Agent is a special case of a posting agent and as such is
   bound by all the posting agent's requirements plus additional ones.
   Followup agents MUST create valid followups, in particular by
   providing correctly adjusted forms of those headers described as
   inheritable (4.2.5.2), notably the Newsgroups-header (5.5), the
   Subject-header (5.4) and the References-header (6.10), and they Ought
   to observe appropriate quoting conventions in the body (see 4.3.2).

   Followup agents SHOULD initialize the Newsgroups-header from the
   precursor's Followup-To-header, if present, when preparing a
   followup; however posters MAY then change this before posting if they
   wish.

   Followup agents MUST NOT attempt to send email to any address ending
   in ".invalid".  Followup agents SHOULD NOT email copies of the
   followup to the poster of the precursor unless this has been
   explicitly requested by means of a Mail-Copies-To-header (6.8), but
   they SHOULD include a Posted-And-Mailed-header (6.9) whenever a copy
   is so emailed.
