21;; moved posting and mail code from rnews.el
22;; tower@prep.ai.mit.edu Wed Oct 29 1986
23;; brought posting code almost up to the revision of RFC 850 for News 2.11
24;; - couldn't see handling the special meaning of the Keyword: poster
25;; - not worth the code space to support the old A news Title: (which
26;; Subject: replaced) and Article-I.D.: (which Message-ID: replaced)
27;; tower@prep Nov 86
28;; changed C-c C-r key-binding due to rename of news-caesar-buffer-body
29;; tower@prep 21 Nov 86
30;; added (require 'rnews) tower@prep 22 Apr 87
31;; restricted call of news-show-all-headers in news-post-news & news-reply
32;; tower@prep 28 Apr 87
33;; commented out Posting-Front-End to save USENET bytes tower@prep Jul 31 87
34;; commented out -n and -t args in news-inews tower@prep 15 Oct 87
