I think this is only people using Netscape browsers. Microsoft Interenet
Explorer 3 doesn't understand this particular abuse, and nor do
any of caching proxies available from my office (not that I can find
a caching proxy that understands nntp: either, but at least the reject
it without getting confused).
(MSIE 3 tries to launch Microsoft News, which tries for the default
news server.)
Personally, I think any such interpretation of news:// should be enabled
by an option which defaults to disabled, to just make people aware that the
URL is broken.
