fixed.

the problem was we were unescaping the message id, when we shouldn't.

the message id for this post was
news://news.mozilla.org/[e-mail]

when we unescaped %25, and tried to as the server for it, it barfed.

I think that this is back.  I'm getting the error on quite a few of the news 
messages in n.p.m.ui  I verified (in 4.x) that the news message does indeed 
exist.  An example (one of many) is Jonas Sicking Re: changing windows font post 
from 2/11/00 at 2:20 PM in netscape.public.mozilla.ui  If this is something 
different that it was last time I'll gladly slpit out a new bug but I don't know 
how to determine this.
