TIdNNTP.GetBody Method (TIdMessage)

Retrieves the body for an NNTP article.

Pascal
function GetBody(
    AMsg: TIdMessage
): Boolean; overload;
Parameters 
Description 
AMsg 
TIdMessage where the article should be stored. 

Boolean - True on success, False on protocol or server error.

GetBody is an overloaded Boolean function in TIdNNTP used to retrieve the message body for a NNTP article. GetBody calls SendCmd using the NNTP BODY command to retrieve body lines. 

The overloaded functions provide for retrieving the body for the article using a numeric message number, a message identifier string, or the NNTP current article pointer. 

When a TIdMessage instance is used as the destination, GetBody clears the contents of the message using TIdMessage.Clear and calls ReceiveBody using AMsg as an argument. 

The return value for GetBody is True when the numeric response from SendCmd is 222. GetBody will return False if any of the following responses are received:
