Summary: SPOOLNEWS

People keep refering to shell script hacks to place incoming news
into a spool directory for later processing.

I'd like to point out that the define SPOOLNEWS has been around for 6 months
now and does exactly that. It also does better locking, etc than you
can probably throw together in a shell script. Just run "rnews -U" every
once in a while from crontab and you're all set.
