2 #
3 # Script to retrieve a single article from a news server, either by
4 # message-id or by group name and article number.
5 #
6 # Usage: nntpid <messageid>
7 # or: nntpid messageid (angle brackets optional)
8 # or: nntpid news.group.name 1234 (group+number form)
9 # or: nntpid -a news.group.name (download all available articles)
10 #
11 # The name of your news server is obtained from the environment variable
12 # NNTPSERVER, or from the file /etc/nntpserver if that's not set.
13 #
14 # This script supports AUTHINFO GENERIC authentication using the
15 # environment variable NNTPAUTH. It will only attempt this if it receives
16 # a 480 response from the news server; if your news server isn't paranoid
17 # then the script will never need to look at NNTPAUTH.
