 * This command sends the command specified by @fmt and the following
 * arguments to the connected NNTP store specified by @store. It then
 * reads the server's response and parses out the status code. If
 * the caller passed a non-NULL pointer for @ret, camel_nntp_command
 * will set it to point to an buffer containing the rest of the
 * response from the NNTP server. (If @ret was passed but there was
 * no extended response, @ret will be set to NULL.) The caller must
 * free this buffer when it is done with it.
 *
 * Return value: the response code of the nntp command.
