I was getting settled to hook up with the fnews_publish echo that only 
contained
the newsletter separated into separate messages for each page of the edition.
Sometimes I am just interested to go directly to a specific heading/section.

But since the "09 Mar 2020: edition, the auto-posts stopped.  :(

In this case, the more reliable delivery would be the file echo.

OXP to the rescue.
