And for those using the newsreader "tin", you can use the x (crosspost
article) command.  It then prompts for the newsgroup to repost the
article to and adds attribution but no extra indenting like a followup
would.  You also have an option to edit the message before posting it.

(The naming of the command is a seperate issue.)
