No! The above line is what a C(++) program should _output_ to such a
file. The syntax of this file is given in the SOUP specification,
and in this case it must be

NEWS<tab>news<tab>u<newline>

where <tab> indicates a tab character (ASCII 9 decimal) and <newline>
indicates the newline character (ASCII 10 decimal).

This depends on how the "bag" format stores e-mail messages.
