Once upon a time (where've I heard that before?) it was stated here on
the list that import was *supposed* to fill the newsbase from the
first available space. The way I see it, it's either filling from the
last available space or maybe the last expired message (but where
would this info be kept and why?) It's true that it's importing fine,
it just seem backwards the way it's done.

Last I heard here, it was still very much a beta. I'd like to hear
from anybody out there who's used it. I'd rather not do a rebuild
unless there's something really wrong because of the expire date
problem.
