- Assuming you're using rn or something similar, one can 'f' and then
- edit the subject line, remove the references, etc.
-
- You can also go to the 'end of newsgroup' prompt and 'f' from there.
- The resulting header is more or less blank.
-
- One can also use the 'Pnews' program to post from your shell of
- choice - if it is installed on your system, of course. ;-)
-
- trn's "f" command (that's for followup w/o quoting) queries whether or
- not a new subject is being started.
