Bug Description
NewsRunner, when gating a list post to usenet, will append the appropriate usenet group name to any existing Newsgroups: header in the post that doesn't already contain the name.
If the existing names in the header are a group or groups that don't exist on the gated news server, at least one server has been observed to reject the post. In some cases with the <email address hidden> list, we have seen
441 No valid newsgroups in "gmane.
This would actually seem to be a bug in the news server, but I will try prepending rather than appending the group name to see if that helps.

Actually, the fix I'm testing now just deletes any pre-existing Newsgroups: header and adds one with only the gated group name. We shouldn't be posting to other groups anyway.
