I don't think forwarding works yet.  You'd probably see the same results in
mail.  Do you see this same problem on mail, Marina?

Comment 2

[marina]

I think that forwarding is in, because i don't see this problem when forwarding
to myself.

Reassign to rhp

Attachments in the FE aren't hooked up yet and forwarding is simply quoting
with the old quoting code which doesn't handle attachments. In short, none of
this is working yet.

marina - if you agree, pls mark as verified.  We'll try this case again once the
feature is implemented in 5.0.

Comment 6

i don't think it should be invalid, it might remain assigned or resolved as a
reminder till the feature is implemented.

Comment 7

[lchiang]

If you'd like, why don't you reopen this bug and assign it to you as a reminder
to check this case once Rich has implemented this feature.  I'll leave it up to
you.

Because Forwarding and Replying is in i guess it is time to reopen this bug and
assign it to the proper person. I tried today's 1999-7-22 build and repeat all
steps: take an e-mail from your inbox with an attachement and forward it to the
newsgroup(netscape.test)= it comes with an empty mail body.

have to update this bug:now when you forwarding an article with an attachement
from your Inbox to the Newsgroup(netscape.test) it doesn't get sent (i'm able to
forward a message with NO attachment from my Inbox to the Newsgroup).
Steps to reproduce:
-send a web page from 4.x to your 5.0 testing account;
-get this message in 5.0;
-click "Forward" to Newsgroup "netscape.test";
-click "Send";
//note: nothing appeared to be published in netscape.test
(you can repeat all the steps above with a message with NO attachment and you'll
see it published)

rhp, can you look at this?

Hi Jeff,
This may actually be fixed already, but it has to do with Forwarding news
messages.

Marking for M12 and reassigning.

Make sure smtp and nntp share the same post message code from the base class.
nsMsgProtocol.h nsMsgProtocol.cpp nsSmtpProtocol.cpp nsNntpProtocol.cpp changed.
