/\  The problem is that when you post, your posting doesn't get mailed to your
/\ nntpServer, but instead, [m]xrn connects to the nntpServer through the
/\ nntp port (ie, telnet <nntpServer> nntp). The only way that I could think
/\ of to do this (besides modifying the source) would be to put a script on
/\ the "xrn.editorCommand" in the .Xdefaults that looks something like this:
/\
/\ ${EDITOR} $1
/\ if [ $? = 0 ] #This may cause problems if you use vi
/\ then
/\   cat $1 >>${XRN_LOG_FILE}
/\ fi
/\ exit 0
/\
/\ This isn't a robust solution, but it should get you started.
