<messaging, application> A Unix program for posting Usenet
news articles, written by Rich $alz <rsalz@uunet.uu.net> for
InterNetNews. inews reads an article (perhaps with headers)
from a file or standard, adds some headers and possibly a
signature, and, if the article passes some consistency
checks (too much quoting, non-existent newsgroup) then inews
sends the article to the local news server for distribution.
If an unapproved posting is made to a moderated newsgroup,
inews will try to send the article to the moderator (specified
in a configuration file) by electronic mail.
