Example

    // connect to news server
    conn, err := nntp.Dial("tcp", "news.example.com:119")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Fatalf("connection failed: %v", err)
    }

    // auth
    if err := conn.Authenticate("user", "pass"); err != nil {
        fmt.Fatalf("Could not authenticate")
    }

    // connect to a news group
    grp := "alt.binaries.pictures"
	_, l, _, err := conn.Group(grp)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fatalff("Could not connect to group %s: %v %d", grp, err, l)
	}

	// fetch an article
    id := "<4c1c18ec$0$8490$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com>"
	article, err := conn.Article(id)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fatalf("Could not fetch article %s: %v", id, err)
	}

    // read the article contents
	body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(article.Body)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fatalf("error reading reader: %v", err)
	}
