GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 120260
Newsgroup names sometimes shortened too much
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:05:26 UTC
As mentioned on the list by Soren Boll Overgaard, the newsgroup names should NOT be truncated when viewing the abbreviated name when there is no suffix. i.e. top-level newsgroups should not be truncated. As an example, news.Spamcop.net is a publicly-accessible private news server. The top-level newsgroup is spamcop, no period, no suffix. All other newsgroups are prefixed "spamcop." as in "spamcop.test". The example group "spamcop.test" should be abbreviated "s.test" but the top-level group, "spamcop" should not be abbreviated.
