Reassigned to ES SBA: Target set to OOo 2.0. Adjusted Summary to summarize the findings. I can't reproduce this: going to the Mail & News tabpage I can enter "news://" in the corresponding field and insert it without problem. The generated link is anews:// link Do beware that no valid URL starts "news://". The correct formats are "news:comp.foo.bar" (specifying a newsgroup) or "news:20031254789@example.com" (specifying the Message-ID of a particular Usenet article). References: The authoritative listing of URL types is: http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) SCHEMES (last updated 2003-08-29) This is the Official IANA Registry of URI Schemes Scheme Name Description Reference ----------- ----------------------------------------- --------- news USENET news [RFC1738] The "news:" URL scheme is documented in RFC 1738: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html 3.6. NEWS The news URL scheme is used to refer to either news groups or individual articles of USENET news, as specified in RFC 1036. A news URL takes one of two forms: news:<newsgroup-name> news:<message-id> A <newsgroup-name> is a period-delimited hierarchical name, such as "comp.infosystems.www.misc". A <message-id> corresponds to the Message-ID of section 2.1.5 of RFC 1036, without the enclosing "<" and ">"; it takes the form <unique>@<full_domain_name>. A message identifier may be distinguished from a news group name by the presence of the commercial at "@" character. No additional characters are reserved within the components of a news URL. If <newsgroup-name> is "*" (as in <URL:news:*>), it is used to refer to "all available news groups". The news URLs are unusual in that by themselves, they do not contain sufficient information to locate a single resource, but, rather, are location-independent. When typing 'my.favorite.newsgroup' in the receiver field I get the RFC compliant news:my.favorite.newsgroup But if I write 'news://my.favorite.newsgroup', I get 'news://my.favorite.newsgroup' which is ok for I may write what I want even if it's wrong ;) So -> WORKSFORME closed |
