{Using the 'Demon-supplied' DIS v1.29 UK DOS software with PCElm v1.11
and SN v1.30.03.}
If I post a message to a newsgroup a normal outgoing message file ["nnn.TXT"]
is generated with the lines, for example,
To: mail2news@news.demon.co.uk
Newsgroups: demon.ip.developers
in the header. The corresponding 'background' file ["nnn.WRK"] is also
generated containing the lines
news.demon.co.uk
glider@dottie.demon.co.uk
mail2news@news.demon.co.uk
If I then want to post the same message to another newsgroup, I repeat the
process and insert the {previously saved} text of the first message into the
second message while it is open in the editor. I then end up with two {or
more} queued .TXT messages which only differ in what follows "Newsgroups:" in
their headers. The .WRK files will be identical.
Is there a way of posting a single message to multiple newsgroups in one go,
either directly through the SN software or else by manually editing the
"Newsgroups:" line in the header of the .TXT file to list several newsgroups
{and/or anything in the corresponding .WRK file}?
TIA.
