(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: knode Version: 0.7.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 ) Severity: normal Installed from: Gentoo Compiler: gcc version 3.1 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-xfs OS/Compiler notes: I have lots of packetloss on my cable-connection lately so yesterday when I was trying to send a post to a newsgroup it took a while to send that 5K message so after some time (+/-5 seconds) I pushed the stop-button closing the connection but in stead of putting the post back into outbox it was gone...not in outbox... not in another window... not in the group... There went my half hour of thinking about that matter :-( I've also have to noticed that when you just wait until the timeout the message isn't lost but correctly put back into outbox. I've also once noticed with this packetloss that KNode froze when trying to receive a list with new posts from the server and never got it completely. So this too might be a bug (timeout not checked there?) don't know if it's a bug exactly have had this only once. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
Suggested chage to developers : why not put a message to send in the Outbox and ONLY when a successful completion of cummunications has happened would the message be moved to Sent. In case of error with receipients or names of newsgroups then the message should be placed in the Drafts folder, otherwise if it is a "general" communication error leave the message in the Outbox. Obviously the error dialog should show enogh info to be clear on what the problem is and also indicate where the user can find the message.
wow, bad bug. I fixed in the CVS (=> KDE 3.1), but I will not close the bug report, because we need to add approviate info messages, like Cp Hennessy suggested...
Just want to point out that in case of a network error (I just had a spurious "Connection refused") the message is also discarded (3.0.5a). I hope this incarnation of the bug is fixed in 3.1, too (I can't test it because it was a one-time network error).

No, in this case the failed articles are silently (I will add a message to that error dialog, too) moved to the Outbox. I didn't change this code in KDE 3.1, so please try to reproduce this problem. To do this, please create a new article and before you post it, make the newsserver configuration invalid by changing the hostname or port. Greetings Christian
ok, I added the missing info messages...
