for routine use.

must be specified, one or more
.I newsgroups 
(default `general')
may be specified, and a nonstandard 
.I expiration 
date may be specified.
Option
.B \-f
substitutes another sender's name instead of the user.
Option
.B \-h
specifies that headers are present at the beginning of the
article and should be included with the article
header instead of as text.

The sender's full name is taken from the environment variable NAME,
or from the system index (often 
.IR passwd (5)).
The environment variable ORGANIZATION overrides the system default.
