max_lines Property

The maximum number of message lines aside from headers to retrieve.

Syntax

def get_max_lines() -> int: ...
def set_max_lines(value: int) -> None: ...

max_lines = property(get_max_lines, set_max_lines)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property is used to limit the number of text lines aside from headers retrieved for messages. This property is used in conjunction with the article_text property. Please note that due to NNTP protocol limitations, the full text of the article is always retrieved from the server, but only max_lines will be stored in article_text.

The default value of the property is 0. In this case the entire message will be retrieved, without interruptions.
