Subject: Using Pine Composer as Pnews replacement

From: [email-masked] (Scott Gifford)

The Pine composer has a very clever way of integrating the mail/news
header and the message body.  Is there any way to invoke the composer,
with the headers, on a news article from a newsreader other than Pine?
I'd like some way to set it up as an editor, so when I reply to a news
article in tin (or in some other newsreader) it fills out the header
part, then tosses me into the editor, and when I'm done creates a very
attractive news message suitable for sending to inews.

  If there's no good way, anybody got any good ideas for a hack? :)

Have you tried reading your news in Pine?  That seems the easiest.

If not, you could read your news using "gnus" in Emacs, which has even 
_more_ clever ways of inserting the article being replied to.
