you can't get news articles in the thread pane. this bug smacks of parseURI problems, as I'm seeing asserts there in the same way I was seeing them on linux (when news was broken there.) I'm working on it now.
I am still waiting for today's Mac commercial build since there was bug#22928 for yesterday's Mac commercial build problem.

fixed. using NS_MsgHashIfNecessary in parseURI() now.
Sorry for updating the comments so late since I had problem on my Mac, and it's very slow Mac.... Even Seth fixed this problem, but it's so strange that I am not able to recreate this problem for today's commecial build. Anyway, I will check the fix for tomorrow Mac commercial build.
the bug was weird. it would only affect you if you had subscribe to a long newsgroup name, like news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news was long enough to cause it so I was unable to read news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news

Yes. I am able to reproduce this problem by using yesterday's build if I used long newsgroup name -- updating the summary to narrow down this problem. Will verify the fix on today's build.

Verified as fixed on mac using the following build: ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/macos/8.x/ppc/2000-01-05-15-M13/NSMacIn staller-M13.sea.bin I can successfully read news articles from the newsgroup: news://news.mozilla.org/netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news I also check it on win32 and linux just to complete. This problem does not occur on win32 and linux using the followings builds: ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/2000-01-05-16-M13/sea monkey32e.exe ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/unix/linux_glibc/2.2/x86/2000-01-05-15- M13/netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz Nice work Seth! :-)
