Hi,

there is a problem with `message-cross-post-followup-to-header' and
`message-cross-post-followup-to' in message.el. Affected are all
Groups of `gnus-secondary-select-methods' and "foreign servers".

Example: Server is "nntp+reader.albasani.net" and assuming writing in
the group "de.test" and want a crosspost to "de.alt.test" with a
followup to "de.alt.test".

I get this header

| Newsgroups: de.test,nntp+reader.albasani.net:de.alt.test
| Followup-To: nntp+reader.albasani.net:de.alt.test

and this in the body.

| Crosspost & Followup-To: nntp+reader.albasani.net:de.alt.test

That is what `completing-read' in both functions offers. Trying to
send, I get:

| Really use this possibly unknown group: nntp+reader.albasani.net:de.alt.test? (y or n)

The header and the body message must be without the server prefix.

| Newsgroups: de.test,de.alt.test
| Followup-To: de.alt.test
|
| Crosspost & Followup-To: de.alt.test

For me, I fixed it with:

(setq target-group (replace-regexp-in-string "^.*:" "" target-group))

in the functions before `target-group' is used. However, I think
`complete-read' should behave like tabbing in the header which works
fine.

Hope this helps, my lisp is fairly poor.

Frank

Thanks; I've installed something similar on the Emacs trunk.
