trn posting problem
I am using Debian 2.2r2 (potato) and am having a problem
posting with trn (trn_3.6-13_i386) that apt-get installed.
I am using trn while connected to my ISP (in other words,
I am reading news off of my ISP's news server).
I attempt to post via
:
: End of newsgroup misc.test
:
: What next? f [Minor question - Is there any other way to post?]
:

but then I get
: inews: From header: address syntax error
:
: inews: article in /home/bfkelly/dead.article
Here is what I see in dead.article

Looking at the "From:" line I see my name, my local user
name and my hostname. The address after the @ sign is
suspicious because it does not have any dot in it. Yet I
can not find any trn environment variable that lets me set
the From: line or any discussion in the documentation as
to how the From: line is set.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
