User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 I have multiple news server configured : 1) news.free.fr for general internet news from my ISP 2) news.mozilla.org (guess why) 3) msnews.microsoft.com Concerning the reading, everything works smoothly. Problem occurs with posting. If I do a reply to a news, it works. If I do a reply to a mail that also contains a newsgroup address, the send operation fails because it does not chose the right news server to post the news. At least it does not take the first one and there is no way to specify a default news server (as for SMTP). This is very annoying because usually when you help someone in a newsgroup, and do not crypt you address, the guy usually talk to you directly via email adding a copy to the original newgroup. But then you cannot answer the email directly via reply-all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure several news server and add newsgroup to read for each servers 2. Send to yourself a mail including a newgroup address 3. Try to reply to this mail Actual Results: The sending of the mail fails because it does not find the newsgroup because it probably talk to the last (or unspecified news server). Expected Results: Either 1) explicitely ask for the news server with a default value, 2) OR autamagically parse the newsgroup configuration to find the relevant server and only if not found ask for the news server address

I think this is bug 228597, or maybe bug 230899.

Yes it is close to bug 230899 but not quite the same as it typically involve one mail addresse (the original news poster mail) and a single newsgroup address (the newsgroup in which the original news was posted and later responded and re-responded). The bug 230899 involves multiple newsgroup residing on different servers. I also think it is tottaly différent than 228597 as only one account is involved.
