Look for the "NEWSHEADER" or "MAILHEADER" environment variables. The
best thing to do is to put it in your .trninit file (and point the
TRNINIT environment variable at the file if you haven't already done
so). Then, use the default definition as mentioned in the man page (or
copy it out of the common.h source file, if you have access to it), and
tweak the value as you desire.

The following lines represent trn's default headers for posting an
article.  If you want to customize your header copy this to your
.trninit file and modify it (and _don't_ use Pnews directly to post,
use trn -- the ".f" command from newsgroup prompt works well for this).
