The newsgroup line is too long to be displayed elegantly, and Snews
doesn't truncate it.  There was a thread on this a few months back,
so it's a known bug; but the immediate answer is to assume that the
screen is really saying:

  "Follow-up is set to alt.wibble.bork, alt.jelly.custard.
   post to these groups?"  (or some such wording)

you just press 'y' to continue.  No need for the Big Red Button :)

Well, if you're building a buglist, good idea to include it.
