post it using the inews(1) program. If you type h and a carriage return at any point, Pnews will tell you what it wants to know.
The -h form is used when invoked from rn. If your editor can edit multiple files, and you want the article to which you are replying to
show up as an alternate file, define the environment variable NEWSPOSTER as "Pnews -h %h %A". You can also modify the the NEWSHEADER envi-
ronment variable to change the header file that rn passes to Pnews.
