You should be able to pipe these directly into inews (or rnews)
if you write a routine to reformat the date field, which is seriously
bad for Usenet. Send me mail so I can figure out a path to your .UUCP
site and I'll send you a C routine that will produce a correctly
formatted date field. Writing code to parse ``91May12 9:52 am''
shouldn't be very hard.
I'd also suggest that if Subject == ``[none]'' you should set
it to ``Gatewayed from Citadel network'', which is at least
informative.

At the moment I'm lacking a feed; I do not have an operating UUCICO program, nor do I have the necessary documentation to write one myself. Rewriting the date field isn't a big issue in any event. To send mail to my system, you can use any of the following paths: mast.moundst.mn.org!blade!moonsweep!ranger [citadel] over.mind.org!moonsweep!ranger [citadel] theep.boston.ma.us!wildcat!moonsweep!ranger alfalfa.com!pro-angmar!moonsweep!ranger This is of course off topic in here...
