Seth, I don't have an estimate written down for this bug. Is 2 days correct?
Whiteboard: 2 days

sure. this bug is part of the subscribe bug, as we use the hostinfo.dat to store the list of newsgroups. 2 days is fine.

Syncing priority with marketing. Moving to P2 to connote "In" for beta2.
Priority: P3 → P2

in the long list of "why I need to get this working" is for news filter files. this feature is part of subscribe, which is slowly getting whipped into shape.

this just checked in: if hostinfo.dat exists, we'll use it to populate the subscribe dialog, instead of talking to the server. up next: build the hostinfo.dat when we talk to the server on refresh, or first time.

the hard parts of hostinfo.dat support is in an working. 1) it is the same format as hostinfo.dat from 4.x 2) we can read in the 4.x hostinfo.dat, so if the user migrates, we'll use there hostinfo.dat 3) with news subscribe, if we have hostinfo.dat, we use it populate the subscrbe dialog, unless the user hits "refresh" 4) if we get the list of newsgroups from the server, we will write them out to hostinfo.dat that said, there are some bugs that need to be fixed. but the "feature" work is done. I'll go log those bugs so QA knows what they are.
