[net.news] Readnews "r" command

ka (12/30/82)

Recently somebody pointed out that it is easier	to post	a follow-
up article than	to mail	a reply	to an article on USG UNIX.  (More
specificly, on systems which have /bin/mail as the only	mail pro-
gram.)	This undoubtedly encourages people to post followups more
often than they	should.	 Therefore I have  posted  a  shell  pro-
ceedure	 to  net.sources (spanky.142) which produces a nice "Sub-
ject:" line like the followup command does and invokes an  editor
for  entering  the  text.   Unfortunately it will be necessary to
build this into	readnews to make it handle articles with apostro-
phies in the title.
