Yes, a fresh lead from my mysterious informant (actually it was
Bob Manson, manson at cis.ohio-state.edu -- thanks, Bob) redirected me
to that ioctl, and it seems to work. The return from the ioctl() also
appears to be the old state of the flag. Very interesting.
Of course, I don't understand the point of the flag, why it gets
set in the first place, and why my news software continually fills in
a stripped-down Followup-To line whenever I cross-post to unix-pc.general
and comp.sys.att.
I suppose I ought to be satisfied (heh).
