You can also use
| formail -I"Newsgroups: local.announce" | formail -c -k -Xnewsgroups -Xto
-Xrefernces -Xmessage-id -Xmime-version -Xcontent-type -Xreply-to -Xsubject
-Xcc -Xbcc | rpost localhost -M
This is, IMO, indeed better because it is foolproof, and requires no pattern
matching---or thinking at all.
BTWY, it would be nice if one could do the same thing with reformail.
