Hi,

What should be advertised for LIST in CAPABILITIES?
Only keywords defined in RFC 3977?  or all that INN supports?

   The set of available keywords (including those provided by
   extensions) is given in the capability list with capability label
   LIST.

It looks as though it were all the keywords we recognize.
But:

   Where one of these LIST keywords is supported by a server, it MUST
   have the meaning given in the relevant sub-section.

We then have to hope that if a new extension comes (names MOTD for
instance), it is our MOTD...




Another question:  should we still support LIST EXTENSIONS?

215 Supported NNTP extensions
STARTTLS
AUTHINFO USER SASL:NTLM,DIGEST-MD5,CRAM-MD5,ANONYMOUS
LISTGROUP
.

or can we drop it?
CAPABILITIES will be here for that!
