Should check the following RFCs that replace it: 1036: <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5536> <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5537> <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8315> (updates 5537) |
uri(7)::DESCRIPTION::Usage::news reads as: ``` news - Newsgroup or News message news:newsgroup-name news:message-id A newsgroup-name is a period-delimited hierarchical name, such as "comp.infosystems.www.misc". If <newsgroup-name> is "*" (as in <news:*>), it is used to refer to "all available news groups". An example is <news:comp.lang.ada>. A message-id corresponds to the Message-ID of IETF RFC 1036, <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1036.txt> without the enclosing "<" and ">"; it takes the form unique@full_domain_name. A message identifier may be distinguished from a news group name by the presence of the "@" character. ``` It refers to an obsolete RFC[1]. We should update the info there.
