subject: Response to the LIST comm

Hello, all

Could  anybody  confirm  that JamNNTPd correctly handles the
LIST command?  According to RFC977 the newsgroups should  be
reported as
                     group last first p

while  according  to  RFC 3977, each line of the response to
"LIST ACTIVE" should consist

,----[ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3977#section-7.6.1 ]
| of four fields separated from each other by  one  or  more
| spaces:
|
|    o The name of the newsgroup.
|    o The reported high water mark for the group.
|    o The reported low water mark for the group.
|    o The current status of the group on this server.
|
| The  reported high and low water marks are as described in
| the GROUP command (see Section 6.1.1), but note that  they
| are in the opposite order to the 211 response to that com-
| mand.
`------

The reponse of JanNNPD seems to have the watermarks reversed:

  >>> [22:15:07.361864] LIST
  <<< [22:15:07.410049] 215 List of newsgroups follows
  <<< [22:15:07.458690] test 1 20 n
