It's perhaps interesting to note that the format used in folders is
almost identical to the SOUP format for binary messages. The only
difference is that SOUP uses high-order to code the length, and
Yarn low-order.
And if I'm not mistaken, Yarn 0.89 uses the same system to store
news articles in its newsbase. This has changed in 0.90. But you
don't need to know that; you are better of importing SOUP packets
directly.
