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...
