NAME
       inews - post an article to the local news server

SYNOPSIS
       inews  [	 -h  ]	[ -x Path:-contents ] [	-f From:-contents ] [ -n News-
       groups:-contents	] [ -t Subject:-contents ] [ -w	 Followup-To:-contents
       ]  [  -e	 Expires:-contents  ]  [  -r  Reply-To:-contents ] [ -F	Refer-
       ences:-contents ] [ -c Control:-contents	] [ -d	Distribution:-contents
       ] [ -a Approved:-contents ] [ -o	Organization:-contents ] [ file
	... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Inews  reads an article from either each	of the specified files in turn
       or standard input, adds the required and	 specified  header  lines  and
       passed it to rnews(8) with the -q option.

       If  the	-h  option  is given the input is assumed to be	in the form of
       header, blank line then body.  If not then it is	all treated as the ar-
       ticle body.  If any header line is specifed as a	command	line  argument
       then  the  command line contents	override that read from	the input.  If
       any of the header lines that are	required by RFC	1036 are then  missing
       they are	added with default content.

       If  the content From header line	is overridden either from standard in-
       put with	the -h option or with the -f option and	the  posting  user  is
       not the news user then a	Sender header line is added.

OPTIONS
       -h     Read header lines	from the input as well as the article body.

       The following options are used to add header lines:

       -x     Path

       -n     Newsgroups
