Description Henk Poley 2004-04-23 10:51:22 UTC
Version:           0.7.7 (using KDE 3.2.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040217 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3, propolice-3.3-7)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-rc1

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places (aka, topbar menu, sidebar context menu, and listing context menu are not the place to look), but how do you add a server without clicking on some link on a website?

I wanted to subscribe to eclipse.tools.gef at news.eclipse.org, that I found on paper (that stuff with text, but without a mouse ;-)). After prodding along for a while in knode I looked up some website I knew that linked with a news:-url to 'decipher' what it should look like, entered that in the 'Run application' thingy and such added the server and newsgroup (news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.tools.gef).

Doesn't seem the right way to me...

Settings -> Configure KNode... -> Accounts

Well okay, same as on Kmail. Maybe you can close this bug. Though still I would expect this to be available via the sidebar context menu. IMHO, people will add/remove newsservers more frequently than they will change mailservers.

Feature is obviously available.
