WriteNews2.www is an Arexx Macro for Amosaic. When you have a news article
open in AMosaic, it enables you to Post a new article to the same
newsgroup(s), followup the posting with another posting on that subject, or
email a reply to the author of the posting. Tested with AS225r2 and
Amosaic1.4beta & 2.0beta, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work with
the Amitcp version, with any appropriate changes required.
              
REQUIRES:     Rexreqtools, & reqtools.library 
              You will need SMTPpost and NNTPpost from 
              INETUtils1.4 (Aminet: comm/net) so read the docs on these
              utilities!

HISTORY:

version 1.05 written by Gary Gallagher. He did the hard work!

version 2    updated so that
	* whole of message including sig file presented to editor
	* references & newsgroups were parsed with PARSE command 
	* options were presented to Send/Edit/List/Abort in main loop
          (I didn't like not knowing what was going on)
	* extracted user's realname and mailaddress
	* extracted html codes from body of text article so that NNTP
	  postings were clean
	* added Mail function to reply to Author

version 2.1  get mosaic's pubscreen name
	* changed loop so that sigfile is appended only when set
	  or when listing. This will enable an editor macro to
          position the cursor at the bottom of the file
          ready for editing

version 2.2 
        * is now called from currently running version 
          (removed address amosaic.1 calls)
        * added "USEWB" option for editors that won't run on anything
          but Workbench, or for added speed (Workbench running in
          lass colours etc)
        * put postnews & postmail options at top of file
        * added script to get newsgroup for POST option when listing
          of news articles is presented (don't have to open article)

version 2.3
	* tidy up for posting to AMinet

TO DO:  Any suggestions? perhaps requester for domains? or a search
function for newsgroups? Let me know....

BUGS:	* I hope not

THANKS TO: Gary Gallagher (who or whereever you are) and the AMosaic team.
           Michael O'Connell for trying it out for me
