Who changed? What kind of name at where was changed?
If you changed Server Settings/Server Name:, it's saved in realhostname and is
used for server access. If this setting is changed, all news articles is
downloaded again even when difference is server name only(all newsgroups are
common), because abosolutely different news server.
hostname is not changed once defined for any serverX.type. And password
manager's key=hostname instead of realhostname and I think it's applicable to
News too. Please be careful in understanding phenomenon if userid/password is
relevant and you changed Server Name: setting.
Following is my news account definitions in my Tb profile for testing.
> user_pref("mail.server.server5.name", "news1 on news.mozilla.org");
> user_pref("mail.server.server5.type", "nntp");
> user_pref("mail.server.server5.hostname", "x.x.x");
> user_pref("mail.server.server5.realhostname", "news.mozilla.org");
> user_pref("mail.server.server5.newsrc.file", "C:\\ ... \\News\\x.x.x.rc");
>
> user_pref("mail.server.server7.name", "news.opera.com");
> user_pref("mail.server.server7.type", "nntp");
> user_pref("mail.server.server7.hostname", "news.mozilla.org");
> user_pref("mail.server.server7.realhostname", "news.opera.com");
> user_pref("mail.server.server7.newsrc.file", "C:\\ ...
> \\News\\news.mozilla.org.rc");
Because of above setting, I frequently try to look into \news.mozilla.org.rc
when I want to see .rc file content for news.mozilla.org :-)
