     Although NNTP [NNTP] has historically provided public access to
     newsgroups, it is often useful to use authentication to control
     resource consumption.  The NNTP AUTHINFO command described here
     provides a way to do this.

Send a message to:	mailserv at ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-newman-nntpext-auth-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
