Description

[WD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020815
BuildID:    2002081508

I went to subscribe to a new newsgroup, when I found that it only lists the ones
I'm currently subscribed to.   I've deleted hostinfo.dat , yet Mozilla still
shows zero newsgroups available.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set up NNTP Server
2.Subscribe to new newsgroup
3.

Actual Results:  None in list

Expected Results:  Newsgroups listed

Outlook Express can retrieve newsgroup list fine.

My Hostinfo.dat file:

# News host information file.
# This is a generated file!  Do not edit.

version=1
newsrcname=news.idmi.net
lastgroupdate=0
firstnewdate=8
uniqueid=0

begingroups
.,,1,0,0
