Details

Certain news server connection errors are reported by an alert window with title "Alert" and body "A News (NNTP) error occurred: " + error text, eg. downloading news for offline usage from news.mozdev.org and it (again) has load problems and complains "A News (NNTP) error occurred: load at 17.47, try later". (See <http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/mailnews/news/resources/locale/en-US/news.properties#73> for this error string resource.) No indication is given *which* news server this particular error message belongs to! In my case, I have several news server configured and hence can't tell (but by experience) where to look... [This bugs for so long now, I wonder why noone (including me) has bothered to file it yet. :-/]
