  • retrieve usenet article by message ID in terminal

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 4 15:23:29 2024
    Hello!

    Some weeks ago somebody posted a way to retrieve a complete message in
    the terminal by the msg id.

    Does somebody know where that has been posted?

    No. I don't know.

    ...but this is one way that kind of does the trick:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    $ printf '%s\r\n' 'article <upo6l1$3k6a0$[email protected]>' quit . | nc news.uni-stuttgart.de nntp
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    That has the disadvantage that it includes the NNTP responses which
    causes problem when parsed to other applications that expect only the
    message.

    lynx -source "nntp://news.i2pn2.org/<msgid>"
    is nearly that what I need.
    It places an <XMP>/</XMP> line at the beginning and at the end, but
    sed can remove that.

    Use '', otherwise $ in msgids will be treated as variables. At least in
    bash.

    Like in your msgid:

    upsuen$qne4$[email protected]

    It's decoded to [email protected], because there's no variable $qne4
    and $1.

    Similar to yeti's line, in one line shell script, but like a pro
    interactively asking for message id, shows message in less viewer.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    #!/bin/sh
    function nsearch { read ID?"Message ID: "; printf "%s\r\n" "article
    \$ID" quit . | nc news.blueworldhosting.com nntp | less; }; nsearch

    A bit broken as somehow I expected newsreader client will respect my
    newline ;/

    You can see it at gopher://morena.rip/0ns or ideally get it as binary
    with gopher://morena.rip/9ns as text can be always mangled over network
    with newlines and things.
