Not exactly the same thing, but I use a different From: header for 
one group, and do the change manually in my news client (slrn). 
Every now and then I forget to make the change.  I have tried 
editting the post in out.going before the next run of fetchnews, but 
the change never seems to take.  Not sure why that would be the 
case.
