I think it's "safe" enough, and fairly straightforward to implement, but it
would be pretty slow to pass multiple articles through on a single form
click, due to the way the HTTP server talks to the NNTP server, and I'd be
worried about people hitting Stop or Esc when it goes past 5 seconds.  An
intermediate solution might be to display the articles one-by-one and
advance to the next one when the Post It button is clicked, or maybe to do
that in groups of three articles, or something.

One additional thought for that: Would it be necessary to show the full
article? For me, just the title and the first and last few lines would be
enough to know whether or not it is from me in most cases. This is
especially true when I can have all pending articles on one page. There
could be links to show each individual full article when necessary.

I like that idea, maybe something like you have on the browser interface in
"brief" mode, but with a button to view the entire message if possible, just
in case the brief version isn't enough.
