Syntax

Property FollowUpTo As String

HRESULT get_FollowUpTo(BSTR* pVal);HRESULT put_FollowUpTo(BSTR Val);

Parameters

  • pVal
    Returns the value of the FollowUpTo property as a reference to a BSTR.
  • Val
    Sets the value of the FollowUpTo property to the value of the BSTR.

Remarks

This property is also available as the 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.
