When the articles of a news server are sent to Thunderbird in wireformat (that is to say in NNTP format), they are not saved to the disk in the right Thunderbird format.
Indeed, if an articles has a line with a single dot « . », it is well displayed the first time I see the article.  But it is saved to the disk, in the Thunderbird newsbox, as « .. ».  Then, if I reopen Thunderbird and read the article (locally saved), it displays « .. » (and not « . », as I still can see in the source of the article [Ctrl+U]).


Reproducible: Always




I believe Thunderbird should always save the article in its own format (and not in wireformat when the article is sent in this format).

Why, so it does.  (I just put a couple sample messages in mozilla.test, but it's plenty easy to reproduce.)  I'm refiling this under MailNews:Backend; there is a MailNews:Offline component, but it's located under Suite rather than Core.

Note: it's not possible to   View|Message Source   for an offline news message 
-- but there's already a bug for that, bug 128297.

This looks like bug 170727 to me...

I agree, duping.
