Details

Build 2001020804, Windows 2000. (Applies to all.) Summary: When you have a bogus group like alt.foo.bar, we shouldn't display the "Article expired" text alert and link, as it's not relevant. Steps to Repro: 1. Setup a newsserver like news.mozilla.org 2. In a browser enter: news://alt.windows.98 3. Note that the newsgroup alt.windows.98 gets added to news.mozilla.org 4. Access the bogus newsgroup alt.windows.98. Expected Results: We should throw up an alert dialog or display the following in the message pane: "No such newsgroup" or "Newsgroup doesn't exist on this server". Actual Results: We display the following in the message pane: "Error! newsgroup server responded:No such group Perhaps the article has expired Click here to remove all expired articles"
