Hi. I have written a FAQ on Ozzy Osbourne. I have submitted it and it
has been approved. Now, I cannot post it because the necessary headers
do not get placed in the usenet message's header but in the message body
(I can do most but the "approved" one).

I was told I could submit it via a faq-server.

a) what is the server address and the format for it?

I was told if I broke it down into three sections:

message header: added to message when I post/mail the FAQ
--------------

MESSAGE BODY: containing a fake news header like this:
------------
from: wanderer@cyberbeach.net
approved by: blahblah@rtmf
subject: Ozzy Osbourne FAQ
[carriage return]
auxiliary header: self explanatory
----------------

will this work? if so, what is the server address.

b) After reading the FAQ and as much info as I could find I am still
confused. Will my FAQ be posted monthly automatically to the newsgroups
specified in the header? Will it also be sent to the FAQ despository FTP
site?

c) Forgive the questions, but I *did* try looking them up in the FAQ. :)

Mike
