Most sites these days completely ignore the distribution header.
Thus, it is not surprising that pine(1) might strip it.

When you read the articels you are posting there, look at all the
headers -- there should be a way to do so; my NUA uses `t' to toggle
reduced vs. fukk headers -- and see if there is a blank distribution
headers, no distribution header, or or one specifying local.

Only in the latter case should the article be prevented from
propagating -- assuming a global newsgroup of course.
