Hi Andriy,

Thanks for bringing the NNTP patch up.  It's an impressive patch, and
I can see the amount of enthusiasm (and skill) that has gone in to
creating and maintaining it.

Unfortunately, it's a really big patch (almost 9000 lines), and it's
quite intertwined.  Ideally something large and orthogonal like this
would be in its own subdirectory, with just a minimal amount of
interfacing.

Now, that's not the patch's fault: mutt doesn't have any "plugin" hooks.
It would be nice if we did, but it won't happen for 1.6.0.  When I have
some more time, I'll try to look more closely at the patch and see if
there are ways mutt could support patches like this.
