Sorry, I meant the "recording" file used by postnews.

It also struck me that it might be a lot easier to implement a control-file
method without worrying about the impact of permanent postings on any existing
news software. The change could potentially appear in, say, rn a lot sooner
than vnews because it would be transparent to vnews/expire/readnews et. al.
