Yeah, though some claim that news: is only for message IDs or newsgroups
names and that you need nntp: for server name + group. (See, for
example, RFC 1738, which has news:<newsgroup-name> , news:<message-id> ,
and nntp://<host>:<port>/<newsgroup-name>/<article-number> .) YMMV as to
which syntax is supported by which client.

Cheers,
Philip

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
