I recently ran into some problems where a long running mkhistory process
locked the news system for a significant amount of time, and as a result
a lot of NNTP posting was held up.  The people posting their articles from
rn got stuck waiting for the article to be posted, and those who didn't
interrupt it had to wait until the mkhistory process finished and
the backlog of articles had been processed.

Is there some way for the mini-inews program to not be forced to wait
for the article, some way for it to send the article as a batch to the news
server?  Any ideas would be appreciated...
