Description

[Navin Gupta]

You cannot copy or file messages from anywhere to a newsgroup, so it should 
not be there.

For some reason, when the template gets generated, the relevant code in the 
backend is not getting called--whereas the same template does invoke the backend 
code in 3pane.

The template generating code does not seem to be getting called atall--so the 
file messages dialog seems to be getting generated without being influenced by 
the rules defined in the template.

The rules seem to be fine--it is the invoking that is failing...

Investigating further.

The current postulation is that:
1) The template being used in 3pane and the search dialog is the same. The only 
difference is the type of file button being used is different.
2) Wondering if fixing and using the correct file button with proper xbl 
bindings will fix this problem too....and cause the template generating code to 
be called properly.

Added bug 78686 as a dependency for this bug.

Reopening and reassigning. Now that the file button is fixed, the news servers
still appear in the list...
