I just installed nightly build 2002100308 upon hearing that bug 141628 had been
fixed earlier today. I was pleasantly suprised to see it actually retrieving the
whole list of newsgroups (via the NNTP LIST request). This is the first time
since netscape 4 perhaps that I've been able to get a newsgroups listing
successfully. However, there is a problem. In the "Subscribe" dialog, it seems
to me like only the top level of newsgroups were listed. Perhaps I am wrong, and
something technically different is happening. One thing I can definetely say is
that there are no sublevels in the tree object. The hostinfo.dat file seems to
contain all of the newsgroups however. I am unsure as to whether this has to do
with seth's patch or not. I will attach a screenshot of the subscribe dialog as
well as a copy of my hostinfo.dat file. The NNTP server I was using was
news.cfw.com on port 119. Like I said earlier, a LIST wouldn't have been able to
be retrieved at all from this server because of bug 141628. I think that this is
a public server, so you're welcome to try it out for yourself.

Good luck!
- Justin

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load MailNews on build 2002100308.
2. Right-click on NNTP server account, do a subscribe.
3. Wait until list retrieval is complete.
It was requested that I post an NNTP log, so I plopped in the environment
variables and refreshed the newsgroup listing, this is the log file that
resulted. Hope it helps.
Confirming based on screenshot.  I can't tell why this is happening yet, and
can't reproduce.  Obviously, though, you are being hit by it.  I've mailed your
ISP's tech support, asking for a test account.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Weird, Justin.	I can drop this into my specific news server directory
(replacing my current hostinfo.dat) and it seems to thread fine for me.
Justin, I believe we talked in IRC the other day.  Have you tried this since,
with a new profile?
Yes, indeed I just did. This time, viewing of the retrieved newsgroups was
successful. So as you suggested, it's probably a profile problem. It may have
something to do with the fact that the profile the bug occurs on was a profile
originally converted from Netscape 4.x. I'll be on the lookout for bugs that
this may be a dupe of and maybe I'll try some experiments involving adjusting
the profile a bit.
