I assume that the intention is to access the news remotely and avoid downloading all the news files to produce a reasonable "subjects" screen from which you select news articles for reading. All that's required is a new nntp feature that would "send all article numbers and subject lines for newsgroup XYZ". If this can already be done per RFC 977 I would sure like to hear about it.

Although it's not in RFC 977, nntp 1.4 and above support the XHDR command: XHDR field low_article-high_article e.g., XHDR subject 1-10000 will do what you want. Phil Lapsley ucbvax!phil phil@ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU
