    Subject: Thuderbird NNTP Test

    Please use test groups for testing a newsreader.


    In general: you are right.

    In this specific case Tomas met with problems posting on this NNTP-usenetgroup and asked if anyone else experienced similar problems.
    And was *asked* by members (me for instance) to keep us posted on developments.

    Which he did.
    And which I'm grateful for.

    Also, this usergroup is known and renowned for discussing off-topic items in a very tolerant way. Something most other groups fail to do.

    Hah, looks like it no longer crashes when sending NNTP messages.

    Strange. There were NNTP-related fixes in some of the previous minor
    updates, but these didn't fix the problem for me. I don't see any
    NNTP bugfixes in the latest (102.3.3) release notes... yet it works
    meow. Hmm

    Louis, can you confirm? (if you still have TB installed for emails)

    Hey, that sounds hopeful!

    I'm still holding station at 91.11.0 (64-bit) on Mint 20.2


    Thunderbird 102.3.3 (64-bit), Windows 10 21H2 here.

    But yea, better wait a bit longer. At least until somebody else confirms
    this as fixed. :)

    Ok fellas, this is quite annoying. It started crashing for me again. The
    issue seems to come and go... I was at 102.4.2 when the issue returned,
    but it kept crashing even when I went back to the previously stable
    102.3.3 build.

    So, I downgraded to the latest build from the 91 branch (91.13.1 as of
    now). They are actually backporting security patches from 102 to 91, so
    they clearly know the newer codebase has issues.

    I have submitted the crash dump multiple times, together with some
    additional info but looks like I'll have to check bugzilla again. Or
    debug it myself if nothing else works...

    Hi Tomas,

    Thanks for this update, albeit an unhappy one :(
