   Response to the LIST command

   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
