Readnews already has it. Are you volunteering to copy the logic to vnews?

	Our version of the vnews sources already has it also -- but it's
'#ifdef'ed out because it's broken.  It would thus be a matter of fixing
it rather than writing it -- which may not be easier.  I think the fix
is non-trivial, anyway, based on my trivial inspection of the sources,
