Description
For low volume newsgroups it's good to have the ability to browse them.
There are two possible directions which can be taken here:
1. Retrieving and parsing all headers in newsgroups is done by the user
2. Retrieving and parsing all headers in newsgroups is done by the NZBCreator service
Option 1 has the disadvantage that it can take a lot of time to retrieve all headers.
Next to this, NNTPGrab isn't really well suited for browsing newsgroups due to it's
client/server nature (it can require a lot of traffic from server to the client)
Option 2 has the advantage that all the newsgroup information is already maintained in the NZBCreator.
All that has to be done is adding scripts to present the newsgroup information in a readable format.
At the moment it isn't certain which path is going to be used
