A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the NNTP Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

Author(s) : C. Feather
Filename : draft-ietf-nntpext-base-19.txt
Pages : 94
Date : 2003-8-1
The Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) has been in use in the
Internet for a decade and remains one of the most popular protocols
(by volume) in use today. This document is a replacement for RFC 977
and officially updates the protocol specification. It clarifies some
vagueness in RFC 977, includes some new base functionality and
provides a specific mechanism to add standardized extensions to NNTP.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nntpext-base-19.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
