Newsgroup(s)

A comma-separated list of newsgroups, e.g alt.test.a, alt.privacy.anon-servers.

From

Not all remailers support "from" lines. If you wish to use a custom from line rather than one the remailer chooses for you, you must select a remailer that supports custom from lines as the last remailer in the chain! Put your from line in this format: "John Smith" <john@domain.com>
