I've taken the liberty of modifying Stan's latest version of mini-inews
(nntpclient) version 1.6 to add a few additional capabilities.

	1. Support for nn. Installing this version of mini-inews
	   for nn is simple, because it now uses the Configure script
	   and sets things up correctly whether for nn or not.

	2. Maintain the HIDDENNET capability... seems a few people liked
	   it.

	3. mini-inews will now add the Date, Lines and Message-ID header
	   lines if absent. This means that MINI_INEWS_HEADERS is
	   no longer required for NNTP-based nn. Addition of Lines
	   is a compile-time option (which is enabled by running
	   Configure).

	4. mini-inews will also be able to generate "traditional"
	   Message-ID header lines: Message-ID: <142@host.domain>
	   where the number is incremented for each post. If you
	   don't want this, then mini-inews will generate ID's
	   in the form of <user.date@host.domain>

This latest version is available via anon-ftp on jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov
under /pub/inews16j1.tar.Z
