If your system is configured to notify you of rmgroup messages instead of
doing them itself, this patch will make executing the rmgroup command a
bit easier for you.  It makes the notice look like a shar archive so that
you can just pipe it to unshar.  Of course, if you use a "safe" unshar
that won't really execute commands, this won't work for you.
