   I've been playing a bit and here's a patch. Edit nntpservice.js (line 107 in   
   revision 1.2, or line 111 in current 1.3) and change:   
      
    var hdr2 = mb.get_msg_header(hdr.reply_id);   
      
   to:   
      
    var hdr2 = mb.get_msg_header(hdr.reply_id + '');   
      
   There may be another way, but this seems to work.
