FollowUpTo Property

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The newsgroups to which any responses to this message should be posted.

[Visual Basic]
Property FollowUpTo as String
[C++]
HRESULT get_FollowUpTo(BSTR* pVal);
HRESULT put_FollowUpTo(BSTR Val);
[IDL]
HRESULT [propget] FollowUpTo([out,retval] BSTR* pVal);
HRESULT [propput] FollowUpTo([in] BSTR Val);

Remarks

This property is also available as the urn:schemas:mailheader:followup-to field.

The string in the FollowUpTo property can represent a single newsgroup or multiple newsgroups. A newsgroup name is a set of words concatenated by periods:

• "microsoft.public.discussion"
• Multiple newsgroups in the list are separated by commas:
• "alt.sample,sample.newsgroup.name,microsoft.public.chat"
• A newsgroup name cannot contain a comma.

Only existing newsgroups should be specified. If a newsgroup with a given name does not exist, posting to that name does not cause the newsgroup to be created.

If FollowUpTo is not set, responses are posted to the newsgroups specified by the Newsgroups property.

The default value of FollowUpTo is an empty string.
