Thanks for the update Alex. I can confirm that Thunderbird on Ubuntu 12.10 can read the one newsgroup that has about 88 messages in it. Claws cannot though - it thinks the newsgroup is empty.
Oh I see... claws-mail requires support for the XOVER extension of the NNTP protocol. This extension is not supported currently and all other newsreader I tested (thunderbird, snrl) fall back to the useage of the classical HEAD command to receive the information. I will see, if I could fix that...
I only tried port 119.
I have not had a chance to look at the code yet.
Cheers, -Barry
