The part of the URI following "news://".
.ie n .SS $RE{URI}{NNTP}
.el .SS \f(CW$RE\fP{URI}{NNTP}
.IX Subsection "$RE{URI}{NNTP}"
Returns a pattern that matches \fINNTP\fR URIs, as defined by RFC 1738.
NNTP URIs have the form:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    "nntp://" host [ ":" port ] "/" group [ "/" digits ]
.Ve
.PP
Under \f(CW\*(C`{\-keep}\*(C'\fR, the following are returned:
