groups, for whom this may be more relevant.  Apologies to readers
of both categories).

Thanks to help from various places on the net, I came up with this:
In your sys file, put the line:

UNDIG:world,comp.risks::/usr/lib/news/undig

Where /usr/lib/news/undig contains the following.  Basically, it
cuts the digest above each Subject line, and breaks it into individual
articles which are posted locally.  (I guess this could be done with one
'sed', but since it works I never bothered to change it).


		o /		o /		o /		o /
--Cut-here-------X---------------X---------------X---------------X----
		o \		o \		o \		o \

#!/bin/sh
#Undigestify digests and post individual articles
TMP=/tmp/undig$$
trap "rm $TMP" 0 1 2 15
cat $* > $TMP

ed - $TMP << 'END'
g/^Subject: /?^$?c\
End-Of-Article\
/usr/lib/news/inews -h << 'End-Of-Article'\
Distribution: local\

.
g,/usr/lib/news/inews ,/^Newsgroups: /t.
