The way OE works about that is that that link above will only work if
news.spamcop.net is the default newsreader.

Currently I have about 20 different news accounts in my 'stable' of
newsservers.  Altho' I'm not likely to be selecting from all of them as
my default, for different reasons I 'flip around' the default between
about 4 of them.  If I want a news link to properly 'hit' the SC news
server regardless of default, I have to construct it as
news://news.spamcop.net/[email protected] -- or if someone
posts it as you did above, I go into my news accounts and change my
default newsreader to news.spamcop.net so that the shorter one works.
Or, if the SC newsserver is the default, I can also paste the shorter
link into the browser addressline -- or if it isn't, I can paste the
longer into the addressline.
