- # Copyright 1995 John A. Phillips - john@linux.demon.co.uk
- #
- # This is not a traditional news batch sender. It expects the pipeline to
- # send it a list of items in the newsbase (a file name and its size, one
- # article per line), instead of a (possibly compressed) batch of the articles
- # themselves. This can be done by using the C News nocomp script both as the
- # batch builder and the batch muncher in the batchparms file. This script
- # just mails each of the named articles individually to a mail2news gateway.
