When should I set a “Followup-To” as part of my post?

From Shiri Dori: !

FollowUps To allow a message posted to multiple newsgroups to select the best newsgroup for replies. It’s best to note the FUT in the text of your post for e-mail based users and those using newsgroup reading software.

Also, it’s good practice to post a topical message only in a specific group instead of posting in /general/ and then setting FUT to a specific group. (Or alternatively, to post the original to both groups and then setting FUT to the topical group).
