I occasionally post comments to perlmonks, and usually the comments are Perl/Tk specific. One thing I'd like to be able to do would be to optionally cc a specified newsgroup (c.l.p.tk). It might be nice if the generated message also included a URL back to the node and/or thread, to make it easy for others to pick up on the discussion if they wish.

I see this as being a benefit for those who might not normally visit perlmonks and stick to newsgroups. In addition, these CC'd posts would be searchable within newsgroup archives. With backlinks, It might also bring more users to this site. Just a thought...
