I have both my ISP's general news server and the GMANE news server set up, which
I use for the OpenOffice.org groups.  If I try to post a reply to a posting on
one of the OOo groups, Mozilla 1.5 RC2 attempts to post it via my ISP's server,
which rightly turns it down.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Define two disjunct news servers.
2.  Attempt replies to newsgroups on both.

Actual Results:  
"A News (NNTP) error occurred: Posting Failed (Article NOT Posted to a Valid
Newsgroup)"

(Note:  I have verified that my diagnosis is correct by temporarily changing my
ISP news server's name to blah.blah.blah.invalid, which changes the error
message to "server not found".)

Expected Results:  
Posted.
