In Mozilla Mail and News, the news server "news" is added, and it attempts to create the group "news.bradsoft.com", instead of connecting to the news server news.bradsoft.com Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Click on a news://news.server.com/ link. Actual Results: Mozilla created a server called "news", and attempted to locate a group on it, which of course failed, as "news" didn't resolve, after asking me if I'd like to subscribe to "news.bradsoft.com". Expected Results: Connect to the server specified, and list / prompt to list available newsgroups. Same occurred on a copy of Moz 1.2.1 on my SuSE Linux box.
