On 11 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Allan Evans sauntered in to netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news and loudly proclaimed:

Actually, that should do the trick: If you have Mozilla set as your default e-mail client, clicking on a new:// or snews:// link should invoke it. Please note that these groups are actually intended for developer discussion, in spite of the seemingly misleading 'public' in their naming; user questions should be addressed to one of the NGs listed below. /b. -- Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to: snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32 snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
