It's the protocol part of the link, the "news" in

 news://news.php.net/php.announce

if a handler for that protocol is registered to the browser, it will try to use it.
For example, my opera tries to subscribe immidiatly.

I found some interesting things. PHP is pretty popular, so I looked at their 'forum' software:

http://news.php.net/group.php?group=php.general

which is pretty darned similar to:

http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/indexing.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=c++.stl

Now, the most interesting thing is if you go to:

http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php

and under the "Newsgroup" column, click on one of the "yes" links, and it will fire up your newsreader and attempt to configure it to read the newsgroups for you. Anyone know how to do this?
