Is there any way in pine to post a mail message to a Usenet
Newsgroup rather than exporting it and then posting the
contents of the resulting file?

Thanks,
Pete

    What version of Pine are you using?  I post directly to Usenet 
newsgroups all the time directly from the 'compose' or 'reply' functions 
with Pine 3.91.  I think this capability may not have been present in 
earlier versions of Pine.

3.91 but we must be configured differently. If I reply to a
mail message, it asks if there are both "From" and
"Reply-To", but "help" says that it wants a legitimate
e-mail address in the "To". 

How do you get around that??

    Are you trying to post to a newsgroup via email?  To post directly, 
put the cursor anywhere in the header and press Ctrl-R, for "rich 
headers."  That should display a field for newsgroups.  Of course, the 
computer system you are on must be configured properly to make use of 
that feature.  (That's a system administration function I admit I am not 
an expert on.)  If you are replying to a newsgroup post in a newsgroup 
folder, Pine should ask you if you want to reply to the newsgroup.  If 
you say that you do, it will fill in the newsgroups field for you.  If 
you are replying to an email, rather than a newsgroup posting, maybe I'm 
not sure just what the problem is.  Newsgroups and mailing lists are not 
actually the same thing.

YES!!! Thanks a lot. I didn't see that when I looked for
help on-line.
