108882 - No server reported during error

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

I tried to send a msg to an existing newsgroup by "Reply"ing to an existing
post. I got the response

A News (NNTP) error occured: 437 Unwanted newsgroup "group.name"

Note that there is no server mentioned. I don't know, to which of the news
serevrs in my accounts (news.mozilla.org or news.t-online.de (a Usenet server))
Mozilla tried to send.

(Of course, the inability to followup to a post is another severe bug.)

Must report the server name, otherwise the error msg is useless.

This might be taken care of by bug 100167, however that looks more specific to
'connection refused/failed' error messages.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
