  It works for me. I have not browsed extensively, but the URL is valid and
I was able to see an image from povray.binaries.images.

  If I may suggest something... I think the reason you're doing this is to
allow people to read the povray.* newsgroups without necessarily having
access to the news server. There is also a way to enable people to post in
these groups, it's called a mail-to-news gateway. There might be several
versions of it, but a friend of mine wrote one that works pretty well in
our school (for relaying mailing-lists, but it can be used without them).
You'll find it at <URL:http://www.mygale.org/~tquinot/mail2news.en.html>.

  If that may help...
