I can still post new articles via the news server at work with
`a' in the Group buffer.  I suppose I could use posting styles to
set up the right Newsgroup: header for such posts, so I could post
directly from one of the news->nnml groups.

As for followups, `F' in one of these groups will go to the article
author by default.  If I also want to send the followup to the
newsgroup, I can do `C-[C F N]' to add the Newsgroup: header.

You can tell I don't post to usenet often :-)

Cheers -
