	You basically have to fake out inews into processing a control
message for a non-moderated newsgroup and discover midway, "why, this
is a moderated newsgroup!" but after it tries to filter these out.

	Just post an article to any control newsgroup, and have the
"Control:" header line say: "cmsg newgroup mod.foo".  This may best be
done by handcrafting an article and jamming it down inews' throat
(inews -h).  As an example, in the past, I had to create a Tek local
moderated newsgroup.  I used the article below to create it.  Thanks
to Mark Horton for letting me in on this.

	Subject: newgroup tek.mod.tools
	Newsgroups: tek.msg.ctl
	Control: newgroup tek.mod.tools
