Knode

Hi All, I've got an odd problem. I've just installed Debian Jessie with TDE 14.0. For some reason, if I try to reply to a news (Usenet) posting using Knode, I get a pop up asking me to insert a valid email address in the Identity section. If I don't select any post then I get the expected new post window. I've deleted "knoderc" and recreated it, deleted all the groups and re-selected them without any change. I did use "apt install" to get knode since Jessie didn't come with it installed. Thanks for any help. -- Best Regards: Baron
