You might play with sed to convert a shar file directly.  There is an
unshar program written in C posted to net.sources long ago which reads
up shar files and converts, thereby bypassing the shell altogether.

I suspect that it will be difficult to convert the usenet population 
away from using the bourne shell '<<' feature.
