The format should be <news:<MID>>, i.e.
<news:fl3apkhbefiie5ivaljrb6n8f9nghclsf9@4ax.com>
The 'news;' part is required, otherwise it's ambiguous, because it
also looks like an e-mail address.
It's defined in the schemes for URI, in whatever the correct RFC might
be these days. I.e. like 'http://' for a web URL, 'mailto:' for an
e-mail address, etc..
Some newsreaders try to do the right thing when the scheme part is
absent, but <news:<MID>> is the only correct way. We'll see if
Thunderbird et al understand it.
AND, there of course is still the issue that the newsreader must be
able to actually fetch ('article'/'head'/'body'commands) the article/
headers/body. I.e. like an 'http://' URL might fail, so might a 'news:'
one, for all kinds of reasons.
