Depends on how your new articles are stored.  If each article
is in a separate files in a directory, just give the directory
that contains them as an argument.  If articles in a single file,
give the file as an argument.  You may need to modify the
MSGEP or MHPATTERN resources to get the proper results (see the
docs for more information).

Check the FAQ about messages getting split.  May also be a 
symptom of improper MSGEP or MHPATTERN resource settings.
