[Side note: the article to which this is a followup had "Followup-To:
news.admin.misc", even though the topic is technical, and there was
no explanation of this in the text.  I hope this was simply an error
by the original poster, which the moderator didn't notice.]

And so it is, if you use awk rather than sed.  In new awk:

	awk '/^For your newsgroups file:/ {getline; print; exit}'

In old awk, I believe it takes two lines:

	awk '/^For your newsgroups file:/ {hit = NR+1}
	     NR == hit {print; exit}'
