And this has now been reverted :) Dirk Craeynest pointed out that this
would add this [comp.lang.ada] header to every post *in the newsgroup*
posted through the gateway, which is highly undesirable.

People willing to separate comp.lang.ada traffic from private or work
e-mail should use a real filter such as procmail (or your favourite
mail user agent filter if it has one).
