Destination for the newsgroup list. |
GetNewsgroupList is an overloaded procedure in TIdNNTP that retrieves a list of valid newsgroups on the NNTP server. GetNewsgroupList sends the NNTP LIST command to retrieve newsgroup information returned in the NNTP server response.
The overloaded GetNewsgroupList procedures provide for storing server response lines with newsgroup information in the TStrings instance specified in AList. Newsgroup information is stored in AList using the Capture method for the IOHandler in the NNTP client.
Newsgroup information returned in an NNTP server response may consist of multiple lines of text in the form:
groupname last first p
Tokens in the response line have the following meanings:
