NAME

       nntp-pull - fetch articles from the server to the mbox

SYNOPSIS

       nntp-pull [options...] groupname [groupname...]

DESCRIPTION

       Fetch messages from the server and save them into the mailbox (mbox format). Every argument is supposed to be a name of group, optionally
       followed by a '>' character and mbox filename. If the mbox filename is omitted, it defaults to the name of the group.

       Besides global options (described in sinntp(1)), nntp-pull command takes following options:

       --limit=N
	   Pull at most N messages.

       --reget
	   Start from the first available message.

EXAMPLES

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.org --limit=50 'comp.os.linux>os-linux' Fetches at most the 50 newest articles from the newsgroup
       comp.os.linux located on news.example.org server and appends them to the os-linux mailbox file.

       nntp-pull --server=news.example.net --reget --limit=3 comp.os.windows Fetches at most the 3 oldest articles from the newsgroup
       comp.os.windows located on news.example.net server and appends them to the comp.os.windows mailbox file.
