Hi All: Trying to get started in nn, some searching provided an answer about fully qualified domain names. But now, if you please, I need to know where to input my news-server? I tried putting it in a /nn/init. I even tried coppying my trnrc to .nn, but none of these netted anything. Thanks so much in advance Chime

For what do you need this?
You can let your NNTP server/provider choose the message id, so no FQDN
for is required for your computer.

But now, if you please, I need to know where to input my news-server?

https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/nn/nn.1.en.html

|The news server to use can be overridden by setting the environment
|variable $NNTPSERVER to the name of the system (such as
|news.newserver.com), or by setting the variable nntp-server (on the
|command line only, since it is looked at before the init file), as |"nntp-server=news.some.domain").

nn uses the NNTPSER environment variable.

EXPORT NNTSERVER=your.news.server && nn should take you to your preferred server.

To permanently set this environment variable, add the following statement
to your ~/.profile

EXPORT NNTPSERVER=your.news.server
