of a nsFilePath. this means nsINNTPNewsgroupPost is fully scriptable.
it also allowed me to clean up a lot of code.
most of these changes are results of this change.
add notifyOn, maxArticles, and markOldRead attributes to nsINntpIncomingServer
these correspond to "news.max_articles","news.mark_old_read", and "news.notify.o
n" prefs in 4.x. (in 5.0, they are on a per server basis now.)
rewrite nsNNTPProtocol.cpp to use these attributes, instead of the old 4.x globa
l prefs.
fix warnings.
add the newsrcRootPath attribute to the nsINntpIncomingServer interface.
implement Set/GetNewsrcRootPath(), similar to how Set/GetDefaultLocalPath() are implemented.
rewrite nsMsgAccountManager to use
Set/GetDefaultLocalPath() and Set/GetNewsrcRootPath()
rename some methods in nsMsgAccountManager for correctness.
change the newsrcFilePath attribute to be a nsIFileSpec, instead of a string.(bug #13306)
add code to do hashing of hostname. [not turned on yet]. (for bug #13480)
remove the obsolete GetRootFolderPath() code from the incoming servers.
No more NS_New* for the news objects. Now you must go through the component
manager and use the news factory.
fixes all over to deal with this.
Fix the MODULE. It should be news, not mailnews or nntp.
more scriptability (XPIDL) changes for news.
