Check the original posts to see if they have a "reply-to" header. I hate
when people do that, because I use gmane news & knode, and rather than
sending the same message via both nntp and mail, knode actually opens up a
kmail editor to send the mail copy - which can have different text from the
newsgroup reply!  (However, I don't complain to the OPs, because it's
clearly a software problem on my end).
