It's still there, but isn't on the web page.

sm can take input from stdin in CURRENT, so I didn't add this part.

These two have been added to CURRENT, although I made -S incompatible with
-H, because the thought of someone loading such an rnews batch file and
ending up with a bunch of articles with the same message ID but mangled
bodies bothered me.  Was there some reason why that combination in
particular was needed?

Thanks, these have been committed to CURRENT as well.
