I'm not able to reproduce this, however I'm able to reproduce bug 120502, which
seems similar (although that bug is about a _single_ newsgroup, it resides on
the same server).  Sheela, just for sanity, can you double-check this when/if
you get time?  Marking worksforme in the meantime, because this is working for
me with build 2002-01-30-03 Windows 2000.  I can't repro either problem.

Sheela, can you try this bug when you have time?  I couldn't reproduce it, but
maybe a 2nd pair of eyes will see it.  Thanks.

I am going to reopen this bug. I was able to reproduce this problem on win98
from 2002-01-31-06 build.  There is one more step to see this bug.  After you
select the first group and click reply you will see the correct reply window
with contents. But if you go back to the second group that you read a message
the first time and reply to the message you will see the wrong message is picked up.

Stephen,
This is the same bug as 120502 which is being worked on.

Okay, thanks.  Jean-Francois has looked at bug 12502 and thinks he knows the
issue, so marking this a DUP. (it's the same server, which exhibits the same
exact behavior).

verified.

OK, seems like MS is doing something strange. I though both my issues might be
related.

Can you also verify my other problem:

Issue 2: 
after posting a message on the newsgroup, other message won't display in bottom
pane. Postings can only be read by double clicking, or closing and starting
Mozilla again

Patrick, I have no problems viewing my own/other people's postings in
microsoft.test on msnews.microsoft.com with build 2002-02-02-08

seems to be fixed on most recent build....
You can mark it worksforme (for now) if you want.
