	Yet still url-retrieve fails for news: URIs referencing this
	same server?

	Also, AIUI, $ emacs -Q doesn’t prevent the use of
	nsm-settings-file.  Could you please try the above with that
	variable pointing to some non-existent file?

	BTW, I don’t seem to understand which nntp- functions do expect
	to be called from the server buffer.  For one thing,
	nntp-open-connection uses the nntp- variables intended (unless I
	be mistaken) to be local to the server buffer, yet I fail to see
	where the buffer gets switched.

	Perhaps this revised patch MIMEd makes more sense.
