log.Fatalf("connection failed: %v", err)
}
// auth
if err := conn.Authenticate("user", "pass"); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not authenticate")
}
// connect to a news group
grpName := "alt.binaries.pictures"
group, err := conn.Group(grpName)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Could not connect to group %s: %v %d", grpName, err)
}
// fetch an article
id := "<[email protected]>"
article, err := conn.Article(id)
