ietf-nntp Draft 17 pre-2

[Ken Murchison]

10.5.2.2:  Is the alternate format for backwards compatibility with
existing OVER implementations or XOVER implementations?  If the latter,
why not just use the fact that a "new" client should/will issue LIST
EXTENSIONS before issuing LIST OVERVIEW.FMT, in which case we use the
preferred format.  Otherwise, we use the alternate format.
