	I must have been completely brain dead when I posted last
night.  Sorry.  Try this.


(defun nntp-request-post ()
  "Post a new news in current buffer."
;  (if (nntp-send-command "^[23].*\r$" "POST")
;      (progn
;	(nntp-encode-text)
;	(nntp-send-region-to-server (point-min) (point-max))
;	;; 1.2a NNTP's post command is buggy. "^M" (\r) is not
;	;;  appended to end of the status message.
;	(nntp-wait-for-response "^[23].*$")

  (shell-command-on-region (point-min) (point-max)
			   " sed  s/piccolo/piccolo/g \
			   nil 1)
	)



actually, the problem was with a long line that did not survive.  I
hope this works;   you may have to remove the backslash in the sed
line and add the next line to it.
