Works great for the links I need it for. Thanks for writing this!

Jonatron: I will fix it as soon as i find some time. The following types of links are supported reight now.

news:news.group.name
news://nntp.host/news.group.name #nntp.host will be discarded anyways

But what i read in http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html ( 3.7. NNTP ) makes me think that the second URI Scheme should be 'nntp'. As i said, i will fix it sooner or later.

Francis:
Of course it only works on links. No greasemonkey script will affect urls directly types into the address bar.

Doesn't work for

news://comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot

Something about the regexp looking for something like

news:comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot

?

Nice idea. But it only works on links. When I enter a news:// address in the address bar, stupid Outlook Express still opens.
