After reading this, I immediately tried setting "ORGANIZATION" to my true organization name (USAMC ALMSA), exporting it, and doing a postnews. The header remained as it has always been (see above). I am a guest at Ballistics Research Labs, and wanted to put in my real activity name. It doesn't seem to work in this fashion. Is the referenced set of variables something local to the writer's shop, or should they be effective net-wide? Will Martin USENET: seismo!brl-bmd!wmartin or ARPA/MILNET: wmartin@almsa-1.ARPA
