Net_NNTP

Implementation of the NNTP protocol

Note: The Net_NNTP class is considered deprecated as of v0.10.x; Net_NNTP_Client should be used instead in new applications. A 'backport' of Net_NNTP_Client has replaced Net_NNTP to maintain backward compatibility, but this is temporary and will only last for some time.
