So, it's not a simple solution then. I really need to do
something, since the built-in news reader isn't very good. Also, it
has a serious problem: it asks the user for their address and
organisation, instead of filling that info in itself. This let's
people make anonymous posts and/or posts under other's names.

I don't recognise your name, so I'm assuming that you're
relatively new to the project. Briefly, I spent the last six months,
or so, porting CSuite to Solaris 2.x. I'm running a fully patched

rather large). Of course, handing me a patch would be even better :-)
