Default OT - Thunderbird users in the group

Hey Guys:

Just switched over to Thunderbird after buying a new Windows 10
computer. So far, it's largely OK but I've discovered a couple of odd
things that maybe other users might understand or have conquered
already. BTW - I only use Thunderbird as a usenet reader.

First is the my Sent folder only shows posts that I originate as a new
topic, and not replies that I make to existing threads in a group. I've
played with views but so far - no luck in getting that folder to show
all of the posts I've sent.

Second, When I do reply to a post I get the following Thunderbird message...

"An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect
greeting: mx02.eternal-september.org InterNetNews NNRP server INN 2.7.0
(20151029 snapshot) ready (posting ok)."

That reply will actually post to the group, but as you can see,
Thunderbird complains of a problem. Even though the reply posts to the
group, it remains open in Thunderbird and when I force it closed,
Thunderbird tells me it is not currently saved in my Drafts folder, and
do I want to save a draft of the post. Don't understand why Thunderbird
is even concerned for a mail server since it is not configured for mail
- only usenet.

Any help will be appreciated.
