+ * The CAPABILITIES command allows a client to determine the
+ * capabilities of the server at any given time.
+ *
+ * This command MAY be issued at any time; the server MUST NOT require
+ * it to be issued in order to make use of any capability. The response
+ * generated by this command MAY change during a session because of
+ * other state information (which, in turn, may be changed by the
+ * effects of other commands or by external events).  An NNTP client is
+ * only able to get the current and correct information concerning
+ * available capabilities at any point during a session by issuing a
+ * CAPABILITIES command at that point of that session and processing the
+ * response.
