Real newsreaders handle the NNTP message format for you behind the
scenes so you don`t have to concern yourself with those items.
Typically you get your editor pre-loaded with quoted text from the
article and you enter your responses (and clip out parts that no longer
need to remain).
But the message headers are handled by the newsreader. Most give you
the ability to modify them for advanced uses, but beyond those uses
they can simply be ignored and everything works properly.
