Also known as: LISTGROUP
Returns the article numbers actually present in a group, one per line, rather than the range summary GROUP gives. The difference matters because expiry and cancellation leave gaps: a group reporting 1 to 900000 may hold far fewer articles. Clients use it to avoid requesting numbers that no longer exist. RFC 3977 also allows a range argument to limit the output.
