97423 - Shouldn't receive 2 error messages when network is down.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Networking: NNTP, defect)

Description

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Build ID:  2001-08-28-03, Windows 2000.

Summary:  Shouldn't receive 2 error messages when network is down.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Connect to a newsserver (I used news://poisonivy.mcom.com) and subscribe to
a group.
2.  Read a couple of postings, doesn't matter what you read.
3.  Drop your connection to the network (if on dialup, disconnect, if on LAN,
pull RJ-45 cable or do ipconfig/release on a win2k box).
4.  Try to read a message while disconnected from the network.

Expected Results:

You should only receive one error message.

Actual Results:

You receive 2, this is highly annoying and redundant.

I'll now attach how 4.x handles this (note, 4.x the 1st time, displays a
different warning than it does the 2nd time).  We display *BOTH* warnings every
time.
