minor bug, but if I exit and remove my News/host-* folder for a server, I'll be
unable to read news on that server.

Indeed minor since regular users shouldn't expect things to work if you much 
around with internally used files. :)

You're right BUT Outlook Express doesn't have this problem, so former OE users
who had bad habits with OE will encounter problems if they do the same bad
things with Mozilla.

If you suppress an OE file, it will be created again the next time you launch OE.

I am having this problem in both Firefox amd Mozilla.  Windows 2000 operating system.  This problem occurs when I log on to a proxy server and try to loop back to my IP address to check my server software.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.
