I have just set-up nn to run over nntp.  To post articles I tried rsh but
this has a big permission problem so I looked at the mini inews that was
supplied with nntp.  This only supports piping pre-constructed articles
to it with headers and not the flags to specify newsgroup and title.
This meant that the `aux' shell script would allow me to post an article
but not to cancel it.  I have modified this script to construct the header
lines and pipe to inews -h.  Can this be born in mind in future releases
or does anyone have any other ideas?

Perhaps my nntp code is old and the latest release includes an inews that
supports all the flags.

No News is great news!
