   Hello mark!

I am not going to start this ....process up.

I did not take a shortcut.. I am looking at what the issue is with Pan and Knode(Knews) not working.

Pan gave the info I needed to start the process, it listed the error Error 500 Unknown Command...

At this point I looked what MODE READER was...

It appears 3 of the most used profer this command up on an intial connection.

No client I've seen goes the route you proffer ie: HELP, parse, CAPABILITIES, parse.. send command...that testing is not definitive as I tested with 3.

It appears the clients are assuming that all servers respond to this, and only thunderturkey seems to basically just ignore a 500 error and then go ahead and issue LIST.


 ml> there are quite a few news clients available... Cone, Gemini, Gnus,
 ml> GRN, KLibido, Knews, KNode, krn, Lucy, Mahogany, SeaMonkey,
 ml> Thunderbird, Newega, NewsFlex, Newsleader, NN, PAN, PINE, PNNTP, Post
 ml> Office, Pyne, rn, SkateNews, skim, slrn, Sylpheed, tass, TIN, trn,
 ml> Trulsnews, XRN, and xvnews...

Nice list from wiki, outside of Pan, KNode(Knews), tin, thunderturd, never heard of them.
