Subject: What is gnus reading when it says `nntp read NNN'
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 07:49:28 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <86h8z94l2v.fsf@local.lan> (raw)

When gnus is asked to retrieve lots of back messages from a group I
see `nntp read' followed by some numbers advances as each line
appears.

What is it that is being read ... server active file.... list of
messages... each line of messages ... what?
