   That's up to the client. The address in question is part of the "From" field.   
   If a responding client copies that address to some other field (newsgroup   
   articles famously don't have a "To" field), then that's unique behavior of   
   that client.

   A reader of the Synchronet NNTP service can reply such a message via email and   
   the response will get gated to a FTN netmail message to the original (FTN)   
   message author. It's a feature, not a bug.
