Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Feed Reader, defect)

Description

[Mark Stosberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060201 Mandriva/1.5.0.1-1.1.20060.SoS (2006.0) Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060201 Mandriva/1.5.0.1-1.1.20060.SoS (2006.0) Firefox/1.5.0.1

I tried two different OPML files to import into Thunderbird 1.5, including the one in the URL field, and in both cases "Could not open the file" was returned. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the OPML file referenced in the URL
2. Go to "Manage Subscriptions" for RSS feeds
3. Click "Import" and select the feed. 

Actual Results:  
"Could not import file"

Expected Results:  
I expected the OPML file would be imported, or a more helpful error message would be returned, providing a clue /why/ the file could not be opened.
