[Zope-PTK] Zope error responding to news and disscusion lists

[Jens Vagelpohl]

it looks like the user that was logged into the portal does not have its own
home folder, meaning there is no folder at <portal>/Members/<username>. this
usually happen when the user does not go through the standard join-routine.

the discussions system as it stands at this point (it will be changed Real
Soon Now) relies on being able to store any replies that a user makes in a
folder called "Correspondence" that sits in that user's home folder.

a simple workaround would be to create a Portal Folder in <portal>/Members
that has the same name as the user that is trying to make that posting, and
making sure that ownership of that folder is conferred upon that same
person.
