On Windows it should be HKCR\news, entitled as "URL:News Protocol" and "URL
Protocol", and the "open" shell verb gives the handler.

However, it is well known that both Thunderbird and Mozilla Mail don't set
this properly when installed and running without admin privileges, so you
have to do it manually.
