Giolla is correct. As long as your browser can handle news URLs properly, you should be able to
click on a hypertext link specifying a news url and it should fire up your default news reader. In
my case, I clicked on Giolla's message (quoted below), and it fired up my Outlook News client
(Outlook Express 6 for Windoze).
Try pasting this line of code in a HTML page:
<a href=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="
news:alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent">"
news:alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent"</a>>Recumbent
Newsgroup</a>
If it doesn't fire up, you may have to configure your default newsreader. (IE6 for Windoze: tools,
options, programs)
