Well, nntp is a protocol. (Do "telnet some-nntp-host 119" to see
which kind of protocol.) Speaking this protocol is different than
reading files.
But news servers often store their stuff in "news spool" format, and
Gnus provides nnspool to read this directly. The news spool format
is MH with some additions, it is very similar to nnml.
