Steps to reproduce:

I use Tbird to read the newsgroups at news.digitalmars.com. It's been working fine for a couple decades.

I opened one of the newsgroups in news.digitalmars.com. Or any of them.

Suddenly, today, it will no longer open any messages, whether or not I have read the particular message before or not. I just get the rotating cursor. I can click on other message subjects, and it will highlight it, but not open it. I can click on other news groups, and the group opens, I can click on the messages, but none will open. Just the rotating cursor. I clicked on news groups I haven't clicked on in months, they won't open, either.

Actual results:

It just hangs with the rotating cursor. I can click on mail messages and they continue to work fine. It's just the newsreader.

I did not do anything different today. Closing and re-opening Tbird does not resolve it. Rebooting and re-starting Tbird does not resolve it.

The NNTP powered news reader, forum.dlang.org, is able to read the messages normally.

I am running on Windows 7 64 bit.

Expected results:

It should have opened the message and displayed it in the third pane. I am running Thunderbird 102.14.0 (32-bit)

Walter,
Does it also happen in version 115?
