It's straight forward hand rolling a message to Usenet or email, even
with two remailer hops, but from your nym? There's two extra small
Russian dolls in the equation. Any ideas?

See "Nym creation and use for mere mortals" <https://www.iusmentis.com/technology/remailers/nym.html>

It's very old and written at a time when there was no GPG.
Only Zimmerman's PGP.

But Section 5 will be helpful to you re: handrolling a message
from your already created nym.

Section 5: SENDING EMAIL FROM YOUR NYM ACCOUNT

These commands wil lbe useful to you:

# Creat your nym
gpg --sign --encrypt --armor --recipient config@nymph.paranoici.org --local-user slough@nymph.paranoici.org Config.txt

# Send a message
gpg --sign --encrypt --armor --recipient send@nymph.paranoici.org
--local-user slough@nymph.paranoici.org Test.txt

# Update your nym's config
gpg --sign --encrypt --armor --recipient config@nymph.paranoici.org --local-user slough@nymph.paranoici.org Config.txt

# The GPG command for encrypting your reply.txt files. your reply block
gpg --armor --encrypt --recipient mixmaster@remailer.paranoici.org reply.txt

And after clicking the "Config Msg" button the OmniMix Nym Configurator
itself shows each step of the creation of a nym configuration message
at its Log list. You can also activate GnuPG logging to a file at OM's
Log > GnuPG tab.

just curious . . . i've never used nyms, but i always did wonder why
anonymous remailer users would "handroll" messages rather than use a
remailer client (e.g. omnimix, jbn, qsl/qs, pi) to perform the heavy
lifting, which for most users (amateur, novice, hobbyist) has always
been the conventional method for using remailers for whatever intent

maybe it's not too difficult to do, but nyms look especially exigent,
e.g., <882a9a60b7d009780db938b21bc69bb6@msgid.frell.theremailer.net>,
quoted verbatim <20020914144046.17406.qmail@nym.alias.net> from 2002,
a lengthy article (1395 lines) that begins "the nym.alias.net server
allows you to send and receive e-mail pseudonymously..." which looks complicated, and https://maximalschock.de/pgp/knowledge/tec-pgp.html
also credits "original file was writen by jay@squirrel.owl.de" dated
from 20 june 1998 . . . even the omnimix tutorial doesn't make this
process look easy, so maybe hand-rolling nyms isn't that much harder

considering how very easy it is to use omnimix for posting to usenet,
and is also relatively more anonymous than nym, quoting this excerpt:

(using Tor Browser 14.5.8)

Anonymity between the correspondents No No No Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes

Reliability High High High High High Medium Medium Low3 Low3

[end quoted plain text]

if nyms are relatively less anonymous than using conventional random
anonymous remailer chains, nym users might routinely encrypt content
for added security, or alternatively could post encrypted content to
some usenet newsgroup(s) (e.g., alt.anonymous.messages) by remailing
them instead of relying on nyms, no one doubts that nyms are popular
