User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5.0.4 (20060516), as well as Mozilla Suite 1.7.13 Thunderbird (and Mozilla as well) allows to post a message to a newsgroup even if the message has an empty body. This gives an error back from the NNTP server; depending on the server (e.g. Microsoft Exchange), the error message may be cryptic. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a message with an empty body 2. Post it to a newsgroup Actual Results: Error message from the NNTP server. The message contents depends from the server, and may be cryptic. Expected Results: Three possible solutions: 1- Produce a warning before sending. The user should then not be surprised to see an error from the NNTP server. 2- Refuse to send. 3- Generate a dummy empty body and send the message. It is not clear to me if the various RFCs around NNTP allow or not to have an empty body. But all servers I have tested refuse it.

bug 3746 comment 32 claims that this is already fixed, and on Trunk, I can confirm that Thunderbird does not send a message if it is empty, but it doesn't warn when doing so apparently...
