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 article 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 input
     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.
