News/Echomail reading and writing

I myself prefer tin as my newsreader. I'm using tin-1.3BETA.950824-color. As 
tin, like all other newsreaders was not constructed for Fido, there for it 
doesn't address replys in echomail to someone personlly because most articles
written in usenet are address to all, but ifmail can address reply articles 
to someone personal by way of an additional headerline X-Comment-To: in the 
news articles.

In your file ~/.tin/attributes add the follow lines.
scope=fido.*
x_comment_to=ON
