This is the file "uqwknewsrc", which I use in my script:

dk.foredrag: 1-434
dk.loppemarked: 1-8173
dknet.login: 1-1284
dk.general: 1-5165
dk.admin: 1-1395
dk.livssyn: 1-1262
dk.forbruger: 1-2176
soc.religion.gnosis: 1-1936

And the script:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -f "offline.zip" ]
then
echo Warning - found an unsent offline.zip file!
sz -u offline.zip
fi
uqwk +m +n +x +L -Nuqwknewsrc
zip -mk9 offline AREAS *.MSG
sz -u offline.zip

So I still don't understand. Maybe there is a bug in Yarn 0.91 or
maybe my news-server or UQWK has some problems.
