Details

I already have a .newsrc file in my home directory that I use with trn and with MT-Newswatcher, but I wanted to use it with Mozilla as well (so I can use whichever newsreader I want, and update the same newsrc). Lucky me, there's a field in the UI to select a newsrc file in Mozilla. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work. There's no button to browse for a newsrc file (UI enhancement, please), but typing the path and file name appears to be accepted. But when I click OK to close the account settings, no newsgroups magically appear in the account, and when I go back into the account settings, the newsrc path is re-set back to my profile directory. Has this feature ever worked?
