Another more compact presentation could be:

 * Originally in <original areaname>
 * Crossposted in <areaname2> <areaname3>   etc..

I also wonder if there is room to consider an implementation to  
standardize a way for FTN software to recognize the  
crossposting so that a subsequent reply could automatically  
post into the all the previously identified areas?
