I am looking for something which will allow me to (selectively) feed netnews
groups from my big system as 'email' to other sites who are not set up for
news, just mail.  I envision the following:

	In my systems 'sys' file, I set up for batching.  This means that I
will get a list in a file by the name of the system I am interested in 
normally forwarding a news feed to.  But, instead, I don't run sendbatch on
that account, simply *this* program which reads in the list of articles, and
proceeds to 'email' each one to a given user on another system.  Ideally, the
'subject' line would be parsed, and given to the mail system as a subject, or
the program would actually be a MTA without invoking the local bin/mail
program.  That way, all the headers in the 'news' item would be available to
the remote system's Mail user interface. 

	Does anything like this already exist, or do I have to write it???

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.


Thankyou,

Mike Levin
