To get mush to post news, play around with

	set sendmail = "inews -h"

plus some my_hdr commands to create the appropriate Newsgroups: header
and so on.  The Rnmush script Bill was nice enough to repost is a place
to start looking for how to do this.  Note that this won't work on all
news systems, and that getting mush to post is only a small step toward
getting it to work for followups.

To use the Rnmush script for sending replies, set the environment variable
MAILPOSTER to "Rnmush -h".  Bill neglected to mention that detail.

Well, I don't use or even have access to nn, but based on what your
attempts look like, you might try

set mailer "/home/speedway/rock/bin/mush -send -draft -"

(the double quotes may not be necessary).  Leave mailer-pipe-input alone,
the "-draft -" means to expect a complete message with headers on stdin.
