Well, I wrote the subject (VSoup) then thought about it, and VSoup is
probably unnecessary (though would be nice) and asked about Yarn in the
body of the message... :-)

I'm new to Linux, so I'm not sure what all is needed, obviously will
need some way to extract messages from the spool file into SOUP format.
Something like this may already exist.

Also, I don't know if I can use a "killfile" with INN like I can with
VSoup. Perhaps a filter or something will work.

I will be using INN, hopefully.
