Glancing at the YAML docs, it looks like putting "----" between those would make them parseable as records, so maybe we'll use that after all.
YAML is _very_ buggy.

Also from the YAML POD...
WARNING: This is *ALPHA* code.
BIGGER WARNING: This is *TRIAL1* of the YAML 1.0 specification. The YAML syntax may change before it is finalized. Based on past experience, it probably will change. The authors of this spec have worked for over a year putting together YAML 1.0, and we have flipped it on it's syntactical head almost every week. We're a fickle lot, we are. So use this at your own risk!!!
Why not just keep it simple, and put text files in a directory and name them (so you can easily determine order via sort glob)
$year-$month-$day-$hh$mm-filename_safe_headline
and then in the file, make almost e-mail-like

I've just had a bad go with YAML a couple of times. Thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, until I dumped something to YAML and couldn't load it :(
Well, as far as I am concerned, the actual format that's choosen will mostly be important to the person that decided to implement the news system (perrin).
So I guess as long as it's simple and it's a simple format enough for Joe Anybody, I think we should let perrin decide.
Perrin, any thought on this ? Maybe it's just a matter of arbitrarly picking the simplest format we can think of YAML/Email and starting to implement something. Reserving the option of moving to a different format later on down the road if it becomes an issue ?
BTW, got my darn e-mail fixed... stupid default debian exim install was rewriting my envelope From and my Sender: header to my user account instead of the address in my "From:" header.
Congrats!
