If you want to use NNTP *today*, I strongly recommend to use the
anon-cvs version, not 3.0.54.

Documentation is not available at this moment.  It will be done by the
release of v3.0.55.

(1) Set mew-nntp-server in .mew.el. And type "g" + "-new.group", you
    can read <new.group>.

    Next time when you visit the <news.group>, type "s" and "update"
    to retrieve new articles. Note that "all", "update", and
    "last:<n>" is valid for "s".

    You can use the thread feature, of course.

(2) If AUTHINFO is necessary for your NNTP server, set mew-nntp-user.

(3) Typing C-u 2 Z collects a list of newsgroups. So, you can complete
    a newsgroup name when typing "g".

(4) A mode to list up newsgroup is not available at this moment, but
    planned.

(5) To post an article, remote To: and write Newsgroups: and
    Distribution: then type C-cC-c. C-cC-m is not available at this
    moment.
