That seems odd. In the account settings for this news server, there is an option to set an outgoing smtp server. And if I right click on a news article, there is an option to reply to sender AND to newsgroup. So I think it should work. But it didn't when I tested it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
