Chaining through Soda

Could someone give me some advice on chaining? I'm thinking of bouncing a message fisrt thru hacktic and then soda (as you can Usenet post from there) but need some tips as i seem to have trouble getting the encryption sequences correct.

I dunno. Has anyone succeeded in doing that? I can't recall ever getting a chained and encrypted message posted through soda. Messages sent there as plaintext seem to get posted just fine. Could it be that: 1.) They wont post CHAINED Usenet bulletins, or; 2.) They are rejecting messages encrypted with PGP 2.3a rather than 2.6. Any success stories?
