- Well, this certainly isn't an ansi c question :-), but... a quick look at
- rtfm.mit.edu /pub/usenet/comp.mail.misc turned up a faq containing the
- following:
-
- 4. What are the relevant RFCs for POP and IMAP?
-
- On ftp.uu.net:/inet/rfc
-
- For POP3:
-
- 1734 Myers, J. POP3 AUTHentication command. 1994 December; 5
- p. (Format: TXT=8499 bytes)
-
- 1725 Myers, J.; Rose, M. Post Office Protocol - Version 3.
- 1994 November; 18 p. (Format: TXT=35058 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC
- 1460)
-
- 1082 Rose, M. Post Office Protocol: Version 3: Extended
- service offerings. 1988 November; 11 p. (Format: TXT=25423
- bytes)
-
-
- I suspect that you will find a similar faq covering usenet, somewhere.
- However, it might be easier to pull the rfc index (found at the location
- mentioned above) and search/grep it for "usenet".
