An incorrect fix to a bug in 2.7 caused a serious bug in 2.8.
The inews command would not wait for input when invoked directly
from the tty, resulting in a background process fighting for input
with your shell.  The same thing happened with postnews if EDITOR
was not set.

2.9 is a very short update to 2.8.  As always, diff scripts are
posted to net.sources, although this time they are quite short.

Another bug preventing full names from working with recnews has
been fixed.
