Several of our users had been reading news by doing readnews -p >temp, and invoking their favorite mailer (not necessarily /usr/ucb/Mail) on temp. The mailers depend on the file being simply a UNIX mail file. The new -p option outputs "From:" lines rather than "From " lines, and it also outputs other cruft such as newsgroup headers, which upsets our mailers. The -c option gives output that looks just like the -p option. While I could fix this in about an hour by grovelling through the code and mimicking the -M option, I'd like to know if any combination of command-line options or any C code that someone else has already written will solve our problem.
