[Classpathx-javamail] NoSuchProviderException: No provider for nntp

[Thufir]

I'm loading the .newsrc file and nntp.host from a properties file, which 
is echoed to the output below.  I believe those properties are correct 
and are being passed correctly.

When I get "no provider for nntp" I'm trying

    store = session.getStore("nntp://localhost/";);    //same as in the 
properties file

https://github.com/THUFIR/gnumail-providers/blob/master/src/net/bounceme/dur/nntp/gnu/Usenet.java

which I believe is correct (the leafnode NNTP server is running on 
localhost).

As I recall, this is a configuration error, however I cannot recall what 
exactly the problem is.  I've looked at old code, and it seems to be 
doing the exact same thing to load the Session, so I'm not sure what's 
going on.

Just a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.

(I'm in the process of forking gnumail-providers, for what it's worth. I 
think I've done that process correctly and legally on github.)



thanks,
