ggscrape fix_message <file>

manually download an old message from Groups.

-e, --end <topicnum>
Topic number at which to stop downloading
-l, --ln <ln_dir>
Hard link email files into this directory. Useful for setting to a Maildir
directory, so that your local mail server can move the emails from there but
ggscrape will still know it downloaded them in the main <dest_dir> (in case
ggscrape is interrupted and you have to restart it.)
