Good suggestion, in fact I just recompiled to include the IMAP extensions for just that purpose. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a decent understanding of how to use the IMAP extensions with NNTP, and since I have implemented connection level NNTP sessions in a number of languages I thought it may be easier.
If you are aware of a good example or tutorial for implementing NNTP with IMAP I would appreciate a link. P.S. Thanks for this wonderful tool.
