I think that you're talking about the Path: header.  NNTP doesn't use
Received:; that's an SMTP header.

In addition to Path:, NNTP-Posting-Host: and NNTP-Posting-Date: would
also be useful.

You'll probably have to convert them to X- headers to avoid problems
with picky SMTP servers, but they'll still be useful to humans who
want to complain to the originating host.
