If I remember rightly (and it's years since I used it last), suck uses NNTP to
post articles into the news server. If it does, it should work with Noffle.

Are you trying to use an external fetcher simply to import the archives, or do
you have fetching requirements that Noffle can't handle?

You can post an article from the command line with the '--post' option, or by
invoking Noffle as 'inews'. So it wouldn't take much
Perl/Python/Ruby/Awk/<insert favourite scripting language here> to extract the
messages from the archives and inject them into Noffle. Or perhaps one of
the mail-to-news gateways would have a tool. Maybe Google would have some
suggestions.
