303932 - Newsgroup messages marked retrieved even when newsserver returns "too many open connections" error

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Colin Brace]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6-1.1.fc4 (X11/20050720)

In the Thunderbird message index window, if I click on too many unretrieved
messages (say than two or three), my newsserver returns an error message: "too
many open connections" and does not return the bodies of all the messages.
Thunderbird however marks them as retrieved, even though they are blank. There
appears to be no way to undo this, even by marking the messages as unread.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on multiple message headers
2. Thunderbird returns "newsserver error"
3. Not all messages are retrieved.
Actual Results:  
Several blank message bodies

Expected Results:  
1) Queued the messages and retrieved them one by one rather than opening
multiple connections OR allowing the user to specify how many connections to
open to a given server (obviously some may allow more!)

2) Check to see that the bodies were *actually* retrieved

3) Offer a re-retrieve menu option 

The newsserver my ISP (demon.nl) supplies is corp.supernews.com.

have you tried this on a trunk build, or 1.1a2? I believe I fixed a problem
where messages that failed to load still ended up in the memory cache.

Ok, I downloaded last night's build and tried to reproduce the problem to no
avail, so it looks like this has been fixed. I will update the bug report
accordingly. Thanks.
