[Bug 1512866] [NEW] Some news servers reject some posts from the mail<->news gateway

[Mark Sapiro]

Public bug reported:

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 python-list at python.org list, we
have seen

441 No valid newsgroups in "gmane.comp.python.general, comp.lang.python"

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.
