Good netiquette is when you 'know' you are responding to a crosspost and you
notify that the follow-up is set to a particular group.

I try to do that, but sometimes I forget or I'm too fast.

I overlooked all the options myself and apparently, as you say, there is not
an option.

The program should not choose anything, it should keep it's fingers off the

Instead of good netiquette, it's just irritant behavior and sometimes you
get flamed for it.
I looked at Google and apparently it is already submitted in 2001 as a bug,
but nobody responded or took any actions.
I don't like Pan, but maybe I'm going to use it after all.
