_Forwarding_ because she had sent them to herself using Pine. She now
wishes to forward them, using Pine, to aaa. (Pine can easily be configured
to post to news.)_ Aparently, though her Pine is configured to post to
news, and the machine can post to aaa (proof: her original post was sent 
from Pine, as you can see by looking at the msg id), she does not know how
to forward a message to a newsgroup.

Well, Geraldine, although this belongs in comp.mail.pine or
news.something, I will answer it here. Open the message you had sent to
yourself. Hit F (for Forward), and in the Header section hit ^R (that's
control-r, for Full. How "R" stands for "Full" I don't know, but it does.
Maybe it's ROT-12. :) And that smiley was ObAAA). In the Newsgrps: field
type alt.ascii-art (you must have a Newsgrps field, as your post was from
Pine). Then hit ^X (Send), Y (yes, I want to send), Y (yes, I want to
post, though the "message may be read by thousands or readers!"). And it's
sent. Any further questions, ask your local guru or people in the
newsgroup comp.mail.pine.
