{Warning, this is not simple(TM) }.

There are some instructions on doing this.  I was running it on Linux,
and managed to set it up on a Netscape SSL/NNTP server.  This was 20.x
emacs on Linux.  Once I got to the group, it was a bunch of crap and
then I never used it again.  Try this link for more,

"http://groups.google.com/groups?q=ssl+nntp+group:gnu.emacs.gnus";

OpenSSL can build on NT.  However, getting Emacs to use the
DLL/library might be a problem.  As I remember, you needed to install
W3 to get this working.  I may have hack some sort of elisp file that
only did the SSL connection to avoid installing W3. [Although William
Perry and other have done a good job!]
