hi Daniel ... this is what it looks like thru' googlegroups for
new messages
(i use thunderbird on m$.win10 to read usenet but post thru' google)

Curiously tho' ... a couple of months ago i did a search for an article
in the 'deja-news archive' (which is now owned by google) and it
wasn't as messed-up as the above shows
yep ... they'd removed leading spaces but not compressed others
and ... replaced line-terminators with a 'token'
so a quick search'n'replace of the line-terminators and realigning
the leading edge was relatively easy (moslty due to it being like a
regular shape) ... looks like one of those 'endless knot' pics
.
