While viewing your article:
I hit the 'f' key for followup;
The system said that followup was set to "demon.ip.support.pc" and asked
me it that was OK;
I said it was and continued this process; I could have said it was'nt
and entered a revised list;
I started composing this message and finished the edit;
The system asked me if I wanted to "Post, Edit or Abandon";
I selected Edit and prepended demon.test to the Newsgroups line;
You will be able to see the result by doing page up at the beginning of
the message;
Users of readers ther than "X-Newsreader: Demon Internet Simple News
v1.30" would do something analogous;
After I finish this edit, I will select Post in response to "Post, Edit
or Abandon";
If I wanted to edit the message after that, I would go into Mail, set
'l' for the list of outgoing mail, cursor to the relevant message and
enter return to edit the message. At that point, you will find that a
couple more headers have been added.
