	On anumber of articles I see posted there is a "Nntp-Posting-Host:"
header,  however I haven't seen any posting program that generates this
field.  Before I go and change the posting mechanisms that I provide could
somebody tell me 

	1) Is this header part of any standard which specifies the
	   format and contents.
	2) What if any posting mechanisms will generate this
	   automatically.

	My intentions was simply to add the field something like the following

	Nntp-Posting-Host: <domain address>

	eg

	Nntp-Posting-Host: st_nik.swindon.ingr.com
