The only way to reply to a newsgroup message is to right-click -> Reply to
Newsgroup in MAIN WINDOW.

"Message failed to send" occurs if I :
1 - use the "Reply" button 
2 - use the menu "Reply" option sin the message window.

This does NOT seem to happen in MS-Windows builds..

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open message in new window
2.Hit "Reply" button and compose message
3.Hit Send - send fails.

Actual Results:  
Dialog appears saying "Message failed to send, please check server settings"

Expected Results:  
Message should send.


OS: Suse 8.1
Problem occurs in both Gnome and KDE desktop/Window-managers.

Probably _is_ a dup of bug 159712 - comments there sound _very_ similar.
FWIW, I can compose a new message and send just fine - The problem appears to
only affect Replying...


Before I filed the report, I serched for "news reply" rather than a more generic
"send".
