In <1989Dec6.014046.20687@NCoast.ORG> allbery@NCoast.ORG (Brandon S. Allbery):

   While we're on the subject of alternative newgroup control message handlers,
   here's ncoast's hack on the standard one.

rpi.edu's is a simple change; I want everything created by default (as
in standard C News) but I want to see the newgroup message when it
happens rather than firing up my news reader and heading to control to
get it.  After the "Group blah.foo has been created ..." line it just
includes the whole article, headers and all.  This way I can see right
off why Chuq is rmgroup'ing misc.headlines.unitex or why demon@hades.hell
is attempting to get alt.whatever created or why a newgroup for
alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork ever left Harvey Mudd.

Available on request, though the mods are easy enough.

Dave
