Which newsrc? Yarn's? Or the one for your ISP?

If the former, I'd leave it alone. Yarn does its own thing with its own
newsrc file. It'll take care of weeding out duplicates, and it will
pick up with the feed from the new ISP where the old feed left off, even
if there is some overlap.

If it's the newsrc for Souper or for the ISP itself, yes...you'll need a
new one, because message numbers are unique to each ISP.
