You can save your password so that InterNews will not ask you for it the first time you post. See the Preferences in the Edit menu.
Use the signature preference to describe yourself. The signature is automatically appended to all of the articles that you post. You can edit the signature in the composing window before posting if you want to.
To quote the text of an article in your response to it, select that text before creating a new composition. The text will be automatically copied to the new Compose window. To quote more text after that, copy the text from the article, paste it into the Compose window. Then select the copy and apply the Quote Selected Text command in the Reading menu.
Posting can take a long time, depending on how busy the news host machine is. You cannot do anything else in this version of InterNews while the article is being sent. You can, however, switch out to another application at that time.
If you post an article and then realize that you made a mistake, you can cancel the article. First select the article as it appears in its newsgroup. Then choose the Cancel Article… command from the Reading menu. Some people may have seen the article before it was cancelled if a long time elapses between posting and cancelling. If the article was posted to several groups, it will be removed from all.
You can save an article while you are composing it and after it is posted. Use command-S to save it while you work. You do not have to post it before quitting the program. You can open it again at a later date, change it, and then post it. Once it is posted, the final version will be saved. Create a folder to use for saved compostions to make them easier to find. By default, InterNews will save them in the same folder where the subscription file resides.
Some optional header fields for an article are "hiding" in the top pane of a Compose window. Use the scroll bar or split bar to get to them if you need to.
