ConnectTHOR is used for integrating CfgTCP, SendTCP and GetTCP into a
single program. It also contains a nice news browser what will let
you select a newsgroup and download only the articles you want by

new mail and news, all in a single operation.

Config TCP

program.
Browse News
-
Selecting this option will make ConnectTHOR connect to your configured
NNTP newsserver, and then open a window that will let you
interactively browse newsgroups. The following options are available
in this window:
Newsgroup
-
This string gadget will let you enter manually a newsgroup to connect
to. When you press return after having entered the name, ConnectTHOR
will connect to this group on the newsserver and update the slider
gadgets accordingly. If you enter a newsgroup not present on the
newsserver, ConnectTHOR will warn you about this.
Group List
-
If you select this option, a window containing all newsgroups on the
newsserver will come up. (NOTE: If you haven't collected a list of
groups using GetConfList in THOR and then Send Events, only newsgroups
you have previously received messages in will come up here). You can
then select a newsgroup to browse.
Group Hotlist
-
ConnectTHOR's newsbrowser maintains a list of newsgroups you have
previously browsed in an internal list, that will be saved to disk
when you exit the browser. The message pointer will also be saved.
By selecting this option. you will be able to select a newsgroup from
this "hotlist" of newsgroups. NOTE: This hotlist is NOT connected to
the subscribed newsgroups in THOR in any way.

Get Headers

This option will collect some information from the message headers in
the current newsgroup and shown them in the listview in the browse

On most newsservers, you will atleast get messages numbers and
subjects. However, INN and compatible newsservers supports sending
more information. On these type of servers, you will also get the
messages sizes and who wrote the message.

to collect these articles from the newsserver.
