I've taken that mbox, cleaned it up a bit[1] and imported it into
a lurker archive on shameless.  I tried importing messages into a
plug.test.archives group, but messages started getting mangled and
things look pretty ugly in there.  I'm giving up for the night.

Hopefully I haven't broken anything else.

This may be a silly question, but... how do you delete a newsgroup
(and all the messages in it) in leafnode?

[1] The older messages didn't have quoted From_ lines and a few messages
were corrupted.  I hate mbox.
