I'm asking how to post to a foreign group, after saving the message to
nndrafts:drafts.

An example is this reply.

I saved it with C-x C-s to nndraft:drafts

Now in nndrafts:drafts I've pressed `D e' and  added  this line.
Attempted to end edits with C-c C-s.  Here is the error message:

Sending...
441 No valid newsgroups in "emacs.ding" 
Couldn't send message via news: 441 No valid newsgroups in "emacs.ding" 

.....I've now pressed `g' and reentered nndrafts group  pressed `D e'
and added the following line.

I thought I remebered there being a way to post to a foreign group
from nndrafts.  Possibly something recent.

Trying C-u C-c C-c now
Error message: 
Sending...
No such function: nndraft-request-post

I've now returned to Foreign group buffer and posted this in the
normal way `C-u C-c C-c'

Can one post to foreign group via nndraft:drafts?
