I've already written a small utility to determine
the amount of "wasted" space in a news.dat file
in Java, and done things like echo a post to the screen
using it.

It's currently very ugly, but I'm gonna put together some core
classes to access Yarn files when I get the time.

Personally I'd like a GUI interface to Yarn, so that
I can do useful things like look at more than one mail
message at a time, and copy and paste between them.

That's my end goal.
