   I am trying to change the 'From:' field Gnuemacs puts in a new post,
   but I can not seem to find which routine inserts, or where it gets it
   from.

Emacs doesn't do it.  The function news-inews hands the article to
/usr/lib/news/inews (usually, of course) and inews is responsible for
completing the set of headers.  If you want to put in a From: field,
feel free, you can just edit it in normally.  If you do that, inews
will insert your username@host stuff in a Sender: line instead.
