Description Uwe Premer 2008-06-04 23:20:25 UTC

Version:           0.99.01 (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

KNode V. 0.99.01 automatically fills out the form Followup-To with the same group as in the postet group,
KNode 0.99.01 sends all iso-charsets broken, because it ist missing the "-" between "iso" and "8859".
(Only utf-8 is set correct)
KNode 0.99.01 does not set a carriage return on the end of wrapped lines.

Also the translations into german are not completed. But this is not a bug. ;-)

Same Problem here see Attachment

Comment 4 Michael Schmarck 2008-09-25 18:14:36 UTC

This error (adding the followup-to header, although there's no need to) makes it "hard" for users of other newsreaders to communicate.

For example slrn asks the user if he wants to follow a followup-to, if a followup-to header is present. This question is of course "annoying", when the followup-to should go to the same group as the original posting is in. While it might be arguable that this is also a mistake of slrn (to use that as an example), it's still also an error on the side of Knode, because Knode shouldn't set a useless header.

The encoding issue was corrected.
I have doubt about the carriage-return bug..

So there is still the followup-to "misfeature".

Thank you much: both bugs are corrected, so that it makes fun to use KNode 4.3.1 yet.

> So there is still the followup-to "misfeature".

This is a cosmetical bug.
But it is fine how to set another follow up-to-group, when more as one group is checked in the Newsgroups-Header.
Now I think, KNode 4.3.1 will get as good as the old version 0.10.9 and better. ;-)

SVN commit 1079182 by otrichet:

Place a hint inside the followup-to line edit when there are more than 2 groups selected.

Previous changes to the composer already remove the automatic modification of the followup-to headers:
The current and future behaviour is not to automatically set/change the followup-to headers.
BUG: 178208
BUG: 176418
BUG: 163240
BUG: 74275
BUG: 68732

Warning against posting to more than on groups without setting the followup-to will remain.
