php (usenet/nntp) to html?? Seeking Help!

I'm looking for a set of php scripts that can read an nntp server, pull all
the posts from a newsgroup (text only, no images) and convert them to html
pages.

Perfect example is : http://www.woodworking-forum.com/woodworking/

I'd like to do this with a couple of my hobbies so that I can archive the
articles - yeah, I know google does it, but I want my own copy...

If you know of something like this, please email me - bu*****@yahoo.com

Thanks for any advice you can give me!

The imap module can do this:

<q>
XLII. IMAP, POP3 and NNTP functions
Introduction

These functions are not limited to the IMAP protocol, despite their
name. The underlying c-client library also supports NNTP, POP3 and local
mailbox access methods.
