Description

[Abramo Bagnara]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.3/mozilla-win32-1.7.3-installer.exe

Sending a message to both email address and newsgroup sometime give a weird nntp
error reporting IMAP greeting message:
A News(NNTP)error occurred: [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS
AUTH=LOGIN] server.domain.com IMAP4rev1 2001.315rh at Wed, 15 Sep 2004 15:48:24
+0200 (CEST).
After this the message is not posted to newsgroup.


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




The newsgroup and imap server are running on the same machine.
The bug definitely does not exists in 1.6, while 1.7, 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.8a
gives this same problem.

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.
