The NNTP component is used to read and post articles on Usenet news servers.
NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.
Remarks
The NNTP component implements a standard Usenet news reader as specified in RFC 977. It can be used to browse Usenet news groups and read and post articles.
The CurrentGroup property sets the current newsgroup. From then on, news articles from that group can be read by setting the article number in CurrentArticle and then calling the appropriate method. Properties such as ArticleCount, FirstArticle, LastArticle provide information about the current state.
The headers and text of the articles are received respectively through the Header and Transfer events. Additionally, up to MaxLines from the article body are provided in the ArticleText property. The GroupOverview event returns information about a range of articles (OverviewRange) in CurrentGroup, and the GroupList event is used when listing newsgroup names. The PITrail event provides a trace of the interaction with the server.
The component supports posting of articles through the ArticleText and AttachedFile properties. The article text is specified in one or both of the above, and then the PostArticle method is called. Article headers are given in a series of properties like ArticleFrom, ArticleSubject, Organization, etc. that map directly to the USENET article header with the same name.
