Hi Alexander,

But what is the 586th line?


>   1106  [8EA9B9694535F27DF09D9B537FF5D912]      1218726051~-~1218725167 @030342494733000000000050248A00000001@
>   1107  [1D7645EAFCB8FE0EC21AAE5F4AF165C4]      1218726051~1220021175~1218725175        @030342494733000000000050249100000001@

This line looks OK.

man history
-----------

       The date field consists of three sub-fields separated by a tilde.   All
       sub-fields  are  the text representation of the number of seconds since
       the epoch -- i.e., a time_t; see gettimeofday(2).  The first  sub-field
       is  the  article's  arrival  date.   If copies of the article are still
       present then the second sub-field is either the value of the  article's
       Expires header, or a hyphen if no expiration date was specified.  If an
       article has been expired then the second sub-field will  be  a  hyphen.
       The  third sub-field is the value of the article's Date header, record-
       ing when the article was posted.
