NAME
       nnpost - post news articles (nn)

SYNOPSIS
       nnpost [ -dksy string ] [ -f file ] [ -p ] [ group... ]

DESCRIPTION
       nnpost  is  used	 to post new articles using nn's normal interface, but
       without entering nn in reading mode.

       When started, it reads the init file and then  directly	executes  nn's
       :post command.

       It will prompt for a (comma-separated) list of news groups, the article
       subject, a list of keywords, a summary, and  the	 distribution  of  the
       article.	  Each	of these prompts can also be supplied via command line
       options or arguments as described below.

       When prompted for the "Newsgroup:", entering a ? as the first key  will
       cause  nnpost  to  list all the known news groups and their purpose (if
       this information is available).	You can also enter  /  followed	 by  a
       word  or regular expression which will cause nnpost to produce a (much)
       shorter listing only containing the groups whose	 name  and/or  purpose
       description matches the regular expression.  When paging through either
       list, you can enter q to quit the listing.

       If a source file is specified with -f it will be used  as  the  initial
       article	body.	If  the	 -p  option  is also specified, the article is
       posted directly without editing.

       nnpost can be used to do unattended postings  if	 sufficient  arguments
       are  provided  on  the command line to build the header and the body of
       the article.  The required arguments are: one  or  more	newsgroups,  a
       subject	(-s),  a  source  file	(-f),  a distribution (-d), and the -p
       option.	Other fields which are not specified (e.g. keywords) will  not
       be included in the header.  The contents of the news-header variable in
       the init file will be included in the header.

OPTIONS
       -d distribution
	      Use the specified distribution for the article.

       -k "keywords"
	      Associate the specified keywords with the article.

       -s "subject"
	      Use the specified subject for the new article.

       -y "summary"
	      Include the given summary in the article header.

       -f file
	      Read the article body from the specified file.

       -p     Post the article specified with -f without editing.
