If you are able and willing to build all of the required primary *and*
auxiliary headers manually, simply pipe the resulting file to
"inews -h", without a news reader put in between. Preferrably, install
"post-faq" or "auto-faq" which are small programs that take the FAQ
text as input, build the required headers and post the stuff
themselves.

I have used "auto-faq" from the beginning and I judge it very
recommendable. You just write some parameters into a config file and
you'll get arranged everything automagically. It fits well into sites
where several FAQs from different people originate, but is useful in
single-user setups as well.
