User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

After creating a RSS News and Blogs account, it will not add any new
subcriptions to the account. When I click on Manage Subscriptions the Manage
your subcriptions box is shown. I click on "ADD" and type in the URL. Next the
ADD buton is grayed out and "Verifing the Feed..." is shown endlessly with no
spin bar movement. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Manage Subcriptions
2. Click ADD on Manage your subcriptions screen.
3. Type in the feed URL then click OK.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

It reads on the bottom left of the box "Verifing the feed..." endlessly with no
spin bar movement. After a while I click on "OK" to cancel. 

Expected Results:  
When I click add then enter a URL feed the spin bar should fuctions to verify
the feed and display the RSS feed within seconds.

Which version of Thunderbird are you using?

Which feed are you attempting to add?

This appears to be a dupe of bug 269067 -- certain feeds will cause this problem 
under TB 1.0, but a fix has been implemented which you can check using a nightly 
trunk build.

Resetting the attachment type, which was incorrect.  Since you apparently don't
know what you're doing, please do not supply any further information unless
asked.

Whatever that attachment is, it's worthless -- if it is in fact a .DOC file,
I'm not going to look at it.

Why don't you simply answer the question about which version you're using?

You can find a nightly build to test at this link (which may be broken onto
multiple lines):
