106996 - Subscribe dialog shows no newsgroups (always filtered?)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106763

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)

The Subscribe dialog doesn't show any available newsgroups from which to choose,
nor does it show existing subscribed newsgroups.  But I've learned that I can
make a whole list of newsgroups appear if I type the character (in the search
box) that begins the server's name.  So at newsgroups.borland.com, where the
naming of groups begins with "borland" I can type "b" and some groups appear.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose a newsgroup server
2. Activate subscribe (e.g. news.mozilla.org)
3. type the letter that begins the name of a newsgroup hierachy at the nntp
server, e.g. "n" at news.mozilla.org)

Actual Results:  Subscribe dialog appears empty.

Expected Results:  Populated dialog with subscribed newsgroups checked.

Also, the tree hierachy isn't represented but I figure you know about that as
part of the recent additions to mail/news.
