[leafnode-list] message index
I'm using the following Java to interface with leafnode:
getMessages
public Message[] getMessages(int start,
int end)
throws MessagingException
Returns the messages in the given range (inclusive).
Parameters:
start - the number of the first message
end - the number of the last message
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/javamail/javadoc/javax/mail/
Folder.html#getMessages%28int,int%29
but just wanted to clarify how the nntp protocol and leafnode work a bit.
Is it correct that messages in a folder are numbered 1..n? Is it, unless
maybe in the middle of an operation, continuous, or can there be
discontinuities?
I ask because I suppose it's possible to work at a lower level then GNU
package, or retrieve messages individually, but it's much easier to a
range of messages, as above, provided there are no missing messages or
gaps.
thanks,
Thufir
