daemonfowl, your question is rather vague and lacking specifics, but it sounds like you're looking for a work-around. In that context I have an idea you might check out. I'm assuming you want to connect to a single news server (as opposed to many servers all over the 'net). If so, maybe you could run an stunnel client on your machine to convert http connections from snownews (with which I have no familiarity) to https connections to the news server. Just a thought ... I haven't tried this configuration specifically.
