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.
