    When Crossposting or establishing a C)opy of a message to a
    "Newsgroup" or "User", could OpenXP provide a header that
    summaries the names of those areas and users in the messages?

    One "standard" presentation is something like this:

    * Originally in <original areaname>
    * Crossposted in <areaname2>
    * Crossposted in <areaname3> etc..

    ..and then the body of the message follows.

    Excellent idea and I support you 100% on this one :-)

    Another more compact presentation could be:

    * Originally in <original areaname>
    * Crossposted in <areaname2> <areaname3> etc..

    I also wonder if there is room to consider an implementation to
    standardize a way for FTN software to recognize the
    crossposting so that a subsequent reply could automatically
    post into the all the previously identified areas?
