for all other newsgroups I've tested. My nntp server is news.c2i.net.

1.Add a newsgroup account
2. Click on "Manage newsgroup subscriptions"
3. Type c++ in the "Show items that contain:" textbox
4. Try to subscribe to one of them, either by clicking on the checkbox in the
subscribe column or by pressing the Subscribe button.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
The newsgroup should be added to the list of newsgroups I subscribe to.

Stock install of Moz 1.7 Beta.
