[news.software.nntp] change of From: header

We use mini-inews to post from non-server machines via NNTP.  It works
just fine, however, at times I've noticed that some people's articles
will be sent with the From: header saying the article was posted by
news rather than the actual poster.  In addition, the .signature file
from the news login is appended.  This is very rare, but it still is
a bit disconcerting.  If anyone knows of an explanation for this 
behavior, I'd appreciate hearing it.  I run B News 2.11.14 and NNTP 1.5.3.
