Although there are zillions of "shar" implementations, I just use

Be warned that the moderator(s) of USEnet source newsgroups seems to
think that it is important to accommodate brain-damaged mailers, but
my preference is to give them all the grief I can in the hope that
eventually the complaints from their clientele will cause them to be
fixed.
