Apology accepted.

I want to make a small correction of my own:  I claimed that the Welcome!
message would have gone out as volume16/v16welcome.  In fact, the "volume16/"
is not sent out, and to avoid having to muck around with two different patch
schemes I decided to make *everything* multipart:  it would in fact have been
"v16welcome/part01", and the archive list "v16index/part01", etc.  (I
misremembered because I didn't do those; I let a program do them for me.  Much
easier to talk to this:

	(prompt with many options)? s
	Newsgroup: <cr>
	Is this an Administrivia posting (N)? y
	Archive-name: v16welcome

and let the "csmsend" program figure out how to talk to inews and store the
compressed archive entry and update archive-name and archive contents files.
I mean, what else is being a programmer good for?  ;-)
