Here's a couple little shell programs to help you post
news articles.  The second one allows you to post a
rotated article (including signature).  Some people
seem to have problems with pieces being rotated and
others pieces not rotated.
--------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/csh
# Create an article for posting
set file=~/.news	# Or whatever
vi $file
echo -n 'Do you want this posted? '
set resp = $<
if ($resp == 'y') then
	postnews $file
endif
--------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/csh
# Create a rotated article for posting
set file=~/.news	# Or whatever
set rotfile=~/.newsrot	# Or whatever
set sign=~/.signature
set hold=~/.signhold
vi $file
echo -n 'Do you want this posted (rotated)? '
set resp = $<
if ($resp == 'y') then
	cp $sign $hold
	cat $hold | tr n-za-mN-ZA-M a-zA-Z > $sign
	cat $file | tr n-za-mN-ZA-M a-zA-Z > $rotfile
	postnews $rotfile
	mv $hold $sign
endif
