Correct... AFAIK, anyway.
(I have some experience with news and of course mail and have read and I
believe understood at a non-implementor's level anyway, many of the news
and mail RFCs, but I'm not a dev and thus obviously haven't actually
implemented my own news clients or servers, neither am I a gmane admin so
I don't have any behind the scenes knowledge there, but with those
caveats, yes, I believe your summary to be correct as a high-level
description. =:^)
