mdev-submit had a couple of problems, here's a diff

Since it's being run by procmail, inews is not in my path, and it was
chopping the first paragraph because of the test for Newsgroups lines
in the body of the message (thought you might want to know about that
one in case you use this script in future).

This message is also another test case - hopefully it will appear
as intended. 

Once the newsgroup becomes moderated, the setup should work.
