Hmm. Interesting approach; I'll have to think about that. I'm doing it 
from minimalist itself because minimalist provides a convenient hook for 
feeding a message to an archiver... also, I get to avoid another pass 
through sendmail.

Ah, missed that one!

I do, however, notice that there doesn't seem to be any code in there to 
prevent cascades; that is, a message arriving in the news spool, getting 
posted to the mailing list, being added to the news spool etc. Does 
snstore's -c option take care of this correctly?
