Jose Carlos: What is this bug about?  Does it mean:

1) You can't get new messages for only one group at a time, since opening the 
news account forces a fetch of all the groups in the account?  (It's actually 
fetching only the count of new headers, not the headers themselves.)

OR

2) You can't subscribe to (new?) newsgroups without getting a list of all the 
groups on the server?  (In which case, just how do you expect to do it?  Also, 
see bug 40260 and bug 102804 -- mark this bug as a duplicate of one of those, 
if appropriate.)

OR -- something else?

Y'know, R.K. -- there are bugs where that kind of statement/command/inquiry can 
produce useful information from reporter; and then there bugs, like this one 
(like most RFEs), where it's just more noise.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
