We're running C news, so I did this ages ago (with's Geoff's OK
as to the change in log file format).  Here's the opening part
of the history() routine in rnews/history.c on lsuc:

history(hdrs)				/* generate history entries */
register struct headers *hdrs;
{
	register char *lcmsgid;
	int status = 0;
	time_t now;
	long pos;
	char msgid[MAXLINE];			/* Message-ID sans \t & \n */
	char expiry[MAXLINE];			/* Expires sans \t & \n */
	datum msgidkey, posdatum;
	char fromwhere[64];	/* David Sherman, Feb/88 */
	register char *p;	/* David Sherman, Feb/88 */

	/* strip \n & \t to keep history file format sane */
	sanitise(hdrs->h_msgid, msgid, sizeof msgid);
	sanitise(hdrs->h_expiry, expiry, sizeof expiry);

	/* TODO: is the 3rd parameter needed anymore? */
	timestamp(stdout, &now, (char **)NULL);
	/* David Sherman, Feb 13/88: show got/utzoo or whencever */
	if((p=index(hdrs->h_path, '!')) == NULL)
		strcpy(fromwhere, "local");
	else	/* copy up to the '!', not including */
	{
		strncpy(fromwhere, hdrs->h_path, p-hdrs->h_path);
		fromwhere[p-hdrs->h_path] = '\0';
	}
	(void) printf(" got/%s %s", fromwhere, msgid);	/* NB: no newline */

And here's a tail -2 of our log file at this very moment:

Sep 15 07:50:51 got/utmanitou <1695@wyse.wyse.com> ncrcan sickkids
Sep 15 08:01:41 got/local <1988Sep15.075928.26959@lsuc.uucp> utzoo hcr utgpu ncrcan oscvax attcan tmsoft ryesone forgen maccs utcsri utmanitou sq sickkids

P.S. if you want a version of scanlog which recognizes this
format, ask me.
