The built-in nntp protocol (nntp://) appears to always return 1000000
as the length of the group.
The external news:// protocol ('do %nntp.r) has a count command which
looks like it correctly obtains article counters from the news
server. However, I can't figure out the proper way to issue the
count command via news:// ... I'm copying this to Jeff directly (as
the all-knowing master of the news:// protocol) to see if he can
explain it.
Cheers,
Kev
