Description Kevin D. Knerr, Sr. 2007-07-24 14:27:01 UTC 
When editing group preferences, the default save path appears to be hard-coded to ~/News instead of honoring the value stored under default-save-attachments-path in preferences.xml when default-group-save-path is unset.

This means that simply viewing a group's preferences results in a change that is written to group-preferences.xml, thereby redirecting saved attachments to ~/News, unless it is explicitly changed for each group.

Currently using the 0.131 Ubuntu Feisty package
