Change Owner (From:) for a Newsgroup Post

[David Maxwell]

How do I change the Owner or From: for a newsgroup post. This is a post in
an Exchange 2003 public folder of type newsgroup. The posts in question are
from a generic user account and I need to change it to the specific user.

I tried by opening the post, choosing Edit menu -> Revise Contents, and
changing the From: to the new person. But it would not save, and if I
reposted it would keep the original user (poster) in the From: field (and of
course it also changed the post to the current date/time). I have tried this
method using the original user, and two different administrator accounts...
all of which at least have Client Permissions to that public folder of
"Owner".

I would like to preserve the original post date (e.g. by Revising Contents).

Thanks very much, in advance!

AFAIK, you can't edit the sender.
