Hey Stephan!

Here's a post using slrn, which shells out to nano when I post or reply.

I'm not sure why Thunderbird put the newsgroup area tag in the "To" field, but
that can probably be changed in your Thunderbird settings. Out of both posts
that came through, neither of them show your email in the "From" field, so
either Synchronet or clrghaus probably removed that for you.

One of the main things that bothers me about NNTP is by default all of your
posts will be "To: All" unless you are able to force the "x-comment-to" field,
which is doable in slrn as you can see this message is to you. It's also
doable with Thunderbird with some messing with the config, but it's ugly.

Regards,
Nick
