Description bert 2004-07-15 16:00:17 UTC
Version:           3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22

(1) There is no way in knode to bookmark a Usenet article. There is even no way to see the "news:" or "nntp:" URL of an article. (This is a problem with knode, not konqueror, but I mention it here, because it is probably part of the same problem.)

(2) You can type "news:message@id" in Konqueror's location bar and it will open the right message in Knode, but it then immediately changes the @ to %40, so that you can't bookmark the URL and when you try to open the URL again, it looks like a newsgroup name, instead of a message ID, which Knode then fails to open, of course.

So my wishes: knode and konqueror should allow to bookmark Usenet articles and konqueror should not change @ to %40, if the protocol is "news:".

(The bookmark should probably be a "news:" URL, not a "nntp:" one, since the latter cannot be shared with people on other networks. See

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
