823526 - Empty newsgroups list when trying to subscribe to a newsgroup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

To reproduce:
1. Fetch current trunk build
(1.1. Create a new test profile)
2. Create a new newsserver account (I created a news.mozilla.org account)
3. Try to subscribe a newsgroup

Results:
Empty newsgroup list, cannot subscribe to any newsgroup. According to Wireshark, the newsserver sends the correct response to the LIST command, so something is wrong in MailNews.

This is probably a regression.

Do you see entries if you enter a search term that matches something ?
