How about the nntp format? Gnus handles that completely transparently as if they were nnml. Can I infer then, that nmh will also handle nntp style messages with the same ease? Any clues on commands the nmh would use to access such a group? I did scan thru the documentation that comes with the nmh package, but that isn't the kind of thing that would be discussed right off for a normal user.
