Agreed.  I think a feed provides me some newsgroups uses
gigo, and I'm having no troubles processing them here.

Agreed again.  I think, the behavior I mentioned earlier
this thread of splitting large messages works because I"m
using the large buffers setting.  OTherwise ymmv.  I think
the docs mention something about the behavior changing
according to buffer size, i.e. squish will behave as it did
with earlier versions if you use medium or small buffers.
