<para
>The nntp kioslave accesses <acronym
>NNTP</acronym
> servers directly.</para>
<para
>This kioslave can not be used with servers that do not implement the <command
>GROUP</command
> command, including some versions of the popular <application
>INN</application
> news server which is often used by <acronym
>ISP</acronym
>s. It does work with <application
>leafnode</application
>, which many people use to keep an offline cache of news articles on their own hard drive or within their <acronym
>LAN</acronym
>.</para>
<para
>You can use the nntp kioslave by typing <userinput
>nntp://yourserver/groupname</userinput
> into the &konqueror; <acronym
>URL</acronym
> bar.</para>
<para
>If you enter a group name, as above, and the group is available, you will see the messages stored for that group as icons in &konqueror;.</para>
<para
>Clicking on a message will display it as plain text, including all headers. This could be useful for debugging a news client to news server connection, for example, to ensure that your new <application
>leafnode</application
> server is working correctly.</para>
<para
>If you don't enter a group name, and only the server name, you will see a list of available groups. </para>
<para
>Please be aware that this could take an enormous amount of time, and will cause a lot of network traffic. Some commercial usenet servers have 60,000 or more groups available, and doing such a thing may cause your desktop to freeze.</para
