    I have just installed a script to update users' newgroup files; you
    should see this message once:


	   The recent problems with our newsgroup feed have been resolved.

	   However, it has required resetting your newsgroup file. This
	   means that old messages will show up.

	   Also, it may take a few minutes before any messages show up the
	   first time you read a newsgroup.
