From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020320 BuildID: 2002032003 I had a very very strange bug. Sometimes, when I load a message, it is dated 1st january 1970. I am using a local news server (hamster) in order to merge 3 or 4 news server into one only. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a newsgroup 2.click on a post to read it Actual Results: Content doesn't match with title. Bad date ! Expected Results: Content matching with title. Good date !

Very strange ! Any explanation ?! I did a clean install of mozilla nightly I am using, in order to prevent bug created from overwriting previous version.

Reporter, can you attach source text for this post ? It might come from the message itself, and Mozilla just read the date. Does it happen on the very same post with another news reader ?

I do not understand what is happening ! When I save the message in order to read the source, it saves the right text ! :-( I made another screenshot, in order to show this problem again ! I do not really understand !

I cannot see message source, using CTRL+U shortcut. I have to save it, and of course, it is the right text ! :-( I really cannot understand ! Very weird !!!!!

It is a mozilla bug ! I tried with XNews news reader, using same news server, and cannot find those strange messages. So, is this bug confirmed or not ?

Might be dupe of bug 132514.

Confirming with a commercial build (Gecko/20020318) -- that's the one I use for news reading) on Win2000. When trying to view source (ctrl-U or using the menu), the page is blank. I moved the news message to a local folders, and then I could view the source. I've attached the TXT file I made using copy/paste of the view source window. It looks like a regression with recent builds.

Thanks Tristan for confirming it ! I made some cleanup (installing a new Windows XP, the old one has too /ghosts/ in it !) Let's hope it would be soon fixed ! :-)

confirming using build 2002032003 on Win2k. It's even worse because every other message from 1970 is unreadable, it will display the same message as the first one seen with 1970. I couldn't view source either (blank window).

dupe of bug 131983?

yes, dup. thanks for pointing that out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 131983 ***
