Looks like the message is available if requested by message NUMBER, but
not by message ID.  The NNTP help text says either should be acceptable,
but is that something that the news server can be configured to work with
one, the other, or both?  Pine works, perhaps that retrieves by message
number.  I don't recall seeing that Lynx can be set to use number instead
of message ID; can it?

Just news:comp.risks gives the same result.  news.host.com is set up
in the lynx.cfg as NNTPSERVER:news.wwa.com (Ok, "host" is really "wwa"; 
I was trying to protect the possibly innocent.)

Sorry.  2.7.1f, 2.7.1 with Fotemods from Jul 30.

Ok, I hope I've included all the relevant portions:
