It ought to accept news article IDs. I post the full Ferret FAQ once
a month, and a "Where to get it" announcement once a week. It would
be nice if the new header format allowed me to direct readers of the
announcement to the full posted FAQ. The files are also available on
WWW, but only allowing FTP and WWW references (until URNs come into
use?) seems unnecessarily restrictive.
