This way, c-client handles a .newsrc file. Without imap proxying, it does
not.

I'm using imap_getmailboxes / imap_getsubscribed, imap_headerinfo,
imap_fetchbody (all PHP functions), etc. for a web-based newsreader, and
OP_HALFOPEN is working.

Yes, but actually these are parameters...

OK.

I had tried with /authuser=nntppass without success! That's a problem
for me.

Thanks for your answers.
