The news link displays normally in OE6:
news://newsserver/newsgroup
Looking at its source code, that is exactly how it appears in the source
code as well, no extra characters or prefix. However the link is dead when
clicked, it goes nowhere. The reason is that apparently a x-usc: prefix
appears out of the blue for unknown reasons, so when hovering the mouse
over
the link it appears in the OE6 status bar as follows:
x-usc:news://newsserver/newsgroup
Where does the mysterious x-usc: prefix come from, why, and how can it be
fixed?


I can't replicate that finding in MSOE (not even going to try to run MSOE on
Windows Vista; that is not a normal configuration). When I view your link in
MSOE6, I see a blue highlighted 'hotlink'. When I hover the mouse over the
link, my MSOE6 status bar shows that link exactly as it appears in your
article. There is no 'x-usc:' address type prefixed.
