I can't subscribe to a newsgroup by clicking on a link like "news:group.a.b.c"
or by entering "news:group.a.b.c" in the address bar, like in good old NS 4.8.
Instead, mozilla tries to connect to a server called "news".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on a link of the form "news:group.a.b.c" or enter "news:group.a.b.c"
(whithout the quotes" in the address bar
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla tries to connect to a server called "news"

Expected Results:  
It should have subscribed me to the group on my actual news server
oops, I meant "current news server"
pretty sure this is a duplicate of bug 64142
