Why bother? This is already done by rnews, and since I applied the patch
you gave me the other day it works (again) beautifully. As a matter of
fact I am just putting the finishing touches on a perl script to
generate backups by creating big ol' rnews input files from a list of
articles by message-id or token. Since I already have a way to easily
pull a list of message-id's from overview this is a quick way to send a
group.
