Package: wget
Version: 1.12-2.1
Severity: wishlist

Wget currenly does not know what to do with news:// and snews:// URLs.

Not many tools do.  Perhaps only lynx can do this at the moment.  But
lynx will only give a rendered version of the retrieved content.  wget
should be able to retrieve the raw article with all headers.
