Details

I wanted to read/write something in Usenet, so set up account, everything fine.
But now i can't get it to fetch the list of newsgroups (or even subscribe to
one). I tried expanding the news groups list with the + on the news server,
tried Get Msg, tried right click on the account - nothing. A log from my news
server looks like this:
I   {840} < 200 NNTP-Server Classic Hamster Version 2.0 (Build 2.0.6.0) (post
ok) on mcsmurf.de says: Hi!
I   {840} > MODE READER
I   {840} < 200 ignored
WAR {840} Connection closed (timeout):127.0.0.1:119 (736)
--> me

We need to get these assignees sorted out :).

Yes, news is broken. I think it's a issue with moving from JavaMail 1.1 to 1.3.
Exception output below as reference to self to help when I debug this later.

*** software from JavaSoft).

ahh, if you add a News account as a second account (but not as the first
account), it is successfully added. There still isn't any GUI for it though so
it's still not functional but at least it doesn't throw tons of exceptions.
I tested the JavaMail providers against nntp://news.mozilla.org/netscape.test
The Grendel NNTP implementation connects with out a problem, however the message
cannot be fully retrieved and cannot be sent to a file.
(This should be opened as a separate bug as it affects
grendel.storage.MessageReadOnly, as it is only partially implemented.)
The GNU JavaMail NNTP provider connects with out a problem, and a message can be
retrieved and sent to a file, though this is significantly faster than the
Grendel NNTP implementation.

I think the bug should be closed, as nntp functionality is not "broken". Just
the Grendel provider, which is a separate issue.
