I and many other FAQ maintainers do not use a newsreader to post our
FAQs. They tend to just get in the way. I just keep my article in a
file exactly the way I want the article to appear (the posting
software does add other header lines), and let a cron job send it off
on a regular basis. I use the post-faq script to help with this, but
the fundamental part is the fact that it calls the inews program from
a script. So I'm using a programmatic rather than an interactive method
of posting. Perhaps a similar method exists for your machine.
