Subscribing to a Newsgroup

Suppose you want to subscribe to newsgroup comp.sys.pdp11.

  1. Add a new line to /H1/DOCUMENTS/EMAIL/NEWSGROUPS.CFG as follows: alt.sys.pdp11 ASP11 0
  2. Run EMAIL.SYSTEM and using N)ew command to create mailbox ASP11, matching the line in NEWSGROUPS.CFG. You may use any name you choose.
  3. Use the Closed Apple-R command to run NNTP65.SYSTEM and retreive messages from the newly-subscribed newsgroup.

When the 'last message' field of the newgroup is zero, NNTP65.SYSTEM will download the most recent 100 articles from the newsgroup. It will then set the most recent article counter in NEWSGROUPS.CFG so that subsequent runs will retrieve new messages only.
