Why make it hard on yourself? inews can take care of it for you. Add a line
to your /usr/lib/news/sys file (or whatever your news lib is) that reads
something like this:

luser-mail:world,soc.culture.urundi-burundi::Mail -s "forwarded USENET news" luser@fweep.COM

Substitute as appropriate, of course.
