Comment 1 Charles Kerr 2003-08-01 23:13:03 UTC 
From the looks of the error message, it looks like there's
no address filled in for that news server.  Try going to
Tools|News Servers|Edit and see what's in the Address:
field for this server.

Added to CVS: a popup dialog in the server editor to wanr
the user if:

* the address field isn't filled in

* the authorize box is checked and either
  the username or password isn't filled in

* the .newsrc box is checked and the filename isn't filled in
