The program offers to become the default mail client, but it does not offer to
become the default newsreader, and I can find no way to set it so manually. 
This means, in my case, that when I click on an nntp link, Outlook Express opens
instead of the desires Mozilla Mail&News program.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on any nntp link
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
As described

Expected Results:  
Open Mozilla Mail& News, or offer that it become the default newsreader.
