105549 - error on "unknown group" shows up in the message pane

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

error on "unknown group" shows up in the message pane

here's the error:

"Error!
newsgroup server responded:No such group

Perhaps the article has expired

Click here to remove all expired articles"

this error, as you can tell, is bleeding into the error for an expired article.

this error should come as an alert ""Error! newsgroup server responded:  No 
such group" (as in 4.x) or not come up at all.

a related bug that already exists is how we don't throw up alerts for errors 
from the news server.

This bug is being marked EXPIRED as it has seen no activity in a very long time.

If you think that the issue reported might still be relevant, please test with a recent release of SeaMonkey and if the problem persists feel free to re-open the report. Thank you.

Bulk reopening incorrectly expired bugs - no activity does not constitute no bug - these need proper checking.

WFM since I haven't seen this happen at all on Mozilla 1.7, SeaMonkey 1.0/1.1/2.0a3.
