This looks a reasonable workaround for such broken servers.
In future, patches should go to the evolution-patches list, and should contain changelogs, but no need to worry for this one, i'll commit it shortly.
Thanks,
Michael

Hello, since it is the first time I look at evolution, I am posting this little patch here, so that it could be eventually reviewed. This small patch fixes the camel nntp provider to handle properly newsservers that do not support the DATE command. The nntp_get_date function is used to update the date of the last news list, to use the NEWGROUPS command to fetch new newsgroups when required. Some (small) newsservers (such as SN) do not support the DATE command. This patch makes the provider download the complete list of newsgroups when DATE is unimplemented (the same behaviour already implemented when the NEWGROUPS command is unavailable).
