Used today's 04-21-08-M16 commercial build: Only Windows build is working OK. The other platforms (Linux & Mac) still hitting bug#25670 problem: On Linux: It still keep processing, don't even get the login dialog displayed. On Mac: I got a Alert: "unknown error" displaying.... I still need to wait for bug#25670 got fixed in order to verify this bug. Since bug#25670 has been moved to M17, so should this bug move to M17 as well? (I know this should be working since it work on Windows....but I still need to wait for verifying on all the platforms.....)
Adding depends 25670 on this bug, so will remind me to verify this bug as well.
Depends on: 25670
By using 07-20-09-M17 commercial build: This problem is back again.....adding regression. Changing the milestone from M16 to ---, will let the developers to decide which milestone should be for this bug. Reopining this bug. I willl recommend this bug should be in beta3....

Oops! I need to reopen this bug since it's working for Windows & Mac platforms, but for Linux platform, I got an Alert when I was trying on snews://secnews link: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact secnews:119." I don't understand why it's working for Windows & Mac, but not for Linux platform. Reopening this bug & changing the platform for ONLY Linux, adding pp for the keywords.
