Dunno, sorry.  I only have an account because Andrew Rawnsley wanted me
to look at why Newshound wasn't working with their news server.  Turned
out that their server had a couple of configuration issues - quickly
solved, of course.  No change necessary to NH.

However, he did suggest that working with NNTPS would be desirable.
Unfortunately I couldn't resist the challenge :-)  As it happens, only
minimal change to Newshound appears to have been necessary.
