[I fear you, line eater]
I'm told the line eater munched the first posting. Let's try this once more...

When a friend asked me how to save his outgoing responses to netnews
I realized that MH could be made the mail interface to rn. Below
is how. You may like to customize a bit.
In .login or .cshrc: (sh users can translate)
setenv MAILPOSTER "~/bin/rnmail %h"
setenv MAILHEADER \
'To: %T\
Subject: %(%i=^$?:Re: %S\
Fcc: +CC\
Newsgroups: %n\
In-Reply-To: %i)\
%(%[references]!=^$?References\: %[references]\
)Organization: %o\
\
'
In ~/bin/rnmail: (or whatever you choose to call it)
#! /bin/sh
export PATH || (echo "OOPS, this isn't sh. Desperation time. I will feed myself to sh."; sh $0; kill $$)
cat=/bin/cat
echo=/bin/echo
test=/bin/test
defeditor=prompter
draftfile=`mhpath +`/rndraft
dotdir=${DOTDIR-${HOME-$LOGDIR}}
$cat $1 > $draftfile
if $test -f $dotdir/.signature; then
$echo "--" >> $draftfile
$cat $dotdir/.signature >> $draftfile
fi
exec comp -use -editor ${VISUAL-${EDITOR-$defeditor}} -file $draftfile
That's all. Have fun.
