147113 - Doesn't check for unread news messages on startup

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 123029

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[Fred Nachbaur]

Recent builds of Mozilla, including RC1.0rc1 (and Netscape 7.0pr1 based on it)
as well as RC1.0rc3 do not check for new unread news messages on startup, and
therefore do not automatically expand the news server "trees" to display the
newsgroups with new messages.

This has worked properly on Netscape 6.1 through 6.2.3, and is new behaviour in
the recent releases.

I risked running the same profile in Mozilla 1.0rc3 as I use in Netscape 6.2.3,
in case it was a prefs.js oddity, but same behaviour observed (i.e. works in
Netscape 6.2.3 but not in Mozilla 1.0rc3).
