If you find any bad lines, edit the file "by hand," to put every newsgroup
on its own single line and to patch any ill-formatted sequences (like
"1-3029,-3033"; you'll have to decide how you want that to read, in order
not to miss, nor re-collect, too many articles). Be sure to keep wordwrap
off, and go back through the file before saving to make sure your editor
didn't sneak some errors back in. (Pico fights long lines but can be
outsmarted, chiefly but not only by invoking it with wrap off.)
Of course you'll make a safety copy before editing.
