2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	63 Second advantage: Noffle would work with servers that have retrieving

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	70 (e.g. when calling 'noffle -d' to a pipe and next program terminates or

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	75 * Keeping the content list for several lock/unlock times could lead to
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	76 inconsistent results, because content list is maybe modified by

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	79 * Optimize NEWGROUPS (extra list?)
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	80
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	81 * Add noffle query option for checking all groups, if they are still
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	82 available at the remote server(s) and delete them otherwise.

2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	84 * In online mode, retrieve full article header from remote server if client
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	85 sends a HEAD command. Presently, only the header lines from the overview
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	86 are returned and the article is only retrieved on an ARTICLE or BODY command.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	87 The reason for this was that some readers (like pine) retrieve the group
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	88 overview by sending lots of HEAD commands and their performance would badly
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	89 suffer. On the other hand, some readers (like slrn) cache the header from
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	90 a HEAD command, even if a following ARTICLE command gets more header lines,
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	91 so that not all header lines are available when reading news in online mode,
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	92 before the next start of the reader. But some header lines (e.g. Reply-To)
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	93 are important.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	94 Maybe make the behaviour configurable.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	95
