Here is our setup:
          Gnus 3.12
          Emacs 18.54
          Ultrix 3.1
          Non-nntp  (ie  we get our news via uucp)
          Cnews       <----- This is the biggie!

Is anybody running Gnus under Cnews?  The Lines:  header is not
being *written* out when I post articles?  Is there a way for
Gnus to do that before shipping it off to  inews ?
People running  rn  here have no problem with the lines header so
I don't think it is a configuration problem.
Note:  I am not an emacs lisp hacker though I try to be one on TV

Respond to this address or the list in general.

            thanks

PS.  Any other hints/tips/caveats with Cnews that I can pass on to
     those in charge of news and mail?

PPS.
  After reading the manual a little bit, I think I may have worked
up some pseudo-lisp code

(setq gnus-Inews-article-hook
        '(lambda ()
                ;; Insert a Lines: header line
                (insert "Lines: " lines "\n")
    ))

Will this work?  I should be able to do this in my .emacs right?
I know, I know  "How stupid can this guy be?"  I am a C hacker,
not lisp (yuck!)
