  }

  // 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 := "<4c1c18ec$0$8490$c3e8da3@news.astraweb.com>"
