Such a request is really not necessary.  Instead of using the gmail
interface to post to a group, use the Google groups interface (which I
am using right now).   You use your gmail login, but you have a much
better interface to the newsgroup.  It defaults to bottom posting,
doesn't munge the subject, tracks your postings, and automatically
keeps you in the right context.

Up until a few days ago, I was reading the digest via email, and that
sucked.  Then I needed to post, and switched over to groups
interface.  Wow, night and day.  Like they say, right tool for the
right job...
