I thought it would be more consistent to have both emacs-news-view-mode
and emacs-news-mode use outline-minor-mode, but I don't really have a
strong opinion here.  (We're moving all the "help"-ish buffers to use
outline-minor-mode, after all.)

But emacs-news-mode is for editing, so perhaps it makes sense to use
outline-mode here.  It does steal an awful lot of the `C-c C-*' keys,
though, so I'm not very enthusiastic about outline-mode in general and
think we should avoid it.
