- The next version of c-client will support a new naming syntax for NNTP access,
- as a result of action to standardize the format of all remote mailbox names to
- be (in BNF form):
- ["*"] "{" host [":" port] ["/" access "}" [mailbox]
- where:
- "*" indicator to use bboard access
- host remote IP host to connect
- port TCP port number to use (defaults to service's normal port)
- access access mechanism, imap2 or nntp (defaults to imap2)
- mailbox defaults to INBOX for mail, general for bboard
-
- The syntax *[host]newsgroup for NNTP access is hereby declared dead. All of
- the people who supported that syntax indicated that it wouldn't be a show
- stopper for them if it changed, whereas those who advocated the change had
- quite strong feelings on the matter.
