    From rswindell@VERT to CVS commit on Sunday, September 15, 2019 14:58:43
    exec newslink.js 1.110 1.111
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv19486

    Modified Files:
    newslink.js
    Log Message:
    Added an optional newslink.cfg configuration setting: reader_mode
    if present in the cfg file, newslink will send an RFC 2980/3977 compliant
    "MODE READER" command before authenticating with the news server. Some news servers require this command be sent by the client before supporting so-called "reader commands", like "GROUP". See https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/1999-October/002396.html
    for an example.

    Thanks, EC.

    exec newslink.js 1.111 1.112
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/exec
    In directory cvs:/home/rswindell/sbbs/exec

    Modified Files:
    newslink.js
    Log Message:
    Added support for new configuration keyword: auto_areas
    When present, all sub-boards flagged as Internet/NNTP networked will automatically be included as a newslink'd area (no "area" line needed).
    If the sysop wants to override the configured/default newsgroup name,
    the flags or the attachment directory for a specific sub-board/area, they
    can still use the "area" keyword to specify those values for a sub-board.
    Fixed the long standing UNRECOGNIZED KEYWORD: null error upon a blank
    line. Apparently truncsp(null) will return "null".

    ... was always reporting 0 because 'area' is not an array object

    Don't download more msgs than the max for the sub-board (if non-zero)

    No sense downloading articles we're just going to toss out the next time
    we performance msgbase maintenance.
