Some news groups have extremely large article lists. On an older, weaker computer it can be impossible to load the whole list of article headers in order to retrieve something from an older post that was found by a usenet search.
If there were a number range or date range parameter that could possibly bypass this problem. eg Total header number is ?????????????. Retrieve range from ????? to ?????? OR Retrieve headers from ???Date??? to ???Date???. This way the actual number of headers retrieved can be managed by the computer with limited capacity for data size. I don't know if this is possible but if it is then it is something to think about.
