This particular poster, who is, in fact, a group regular and pretty
consistent poster - who sticks closely to the party line - often has this
problem where he gets confused between email and news. Every so often, he
posts personal email as a CLC item. It is embarrassing, but we've all
gotten used to it. It seems to be an artifact of using the same Windows
tool (Thunderbird?) to perform two similar, but very different functions.
I don't recommend this practice.

Expect any minute now, an apology from the poster, admitting that, oops, I
did it again...

By putting the USENET servers in one Profile and all
the Email accounts in a second Profile, you can try
steering the profile choice with shortcuts. By making the
profiles exclusive to one medium type, that prevents Reply/Followup/Bugs
in Thunderbird from doing this.

/usr/bin/thunderbird -P "Profile Name"

/usr/bin/thunderbird -P "USENET" <=== USENET accounts only (no SMTP)
/usr/bin/thunderbird -P "Email" <=== Email accounts only

It might be possible to work at the profile folder level,
make some clones, change the names on the folders, then fire up
Thunderbird and delete the unwanted items from a particular profile.

I use two separate tools, so the USENET stays in one tool, Email
stays in a second tool. But not everyone wants to do it that way.
Profile steering might give some level of separation.
