If I have multiple news servers and enter (for example) 
    news:sci.geo.satellite-nav
in as a URL in the browser,  Mozilla should bring up the selected newsgroup
using the DEFAULT news server selected in account settings.  Instead,  it asks
if I want to subscribe to the particular newsgroup.  The newsgroup is already
subscribed in the DEFAULT newsgroup but not in others. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla trys to get the user to subscribe to the selected NG using some other
news server which is NOT the default news server.

Expected Results:  
Use the DEFAULT news server or perhaps ask which news server the user wanted to use.
