- NNTP doesn't say how many messages there are, it says what the maximum and
- minimum message numbers are. Say it says it's sending messages 22150 to 22160.
- That's 11 messages (it's inclusive). You will see, downloading 1/11 and so on.
- Now lets say message 22156 has been deleted. Out of the blue, it will jump
- from downloading 6/11 to 7/10.
