On 29 Jul 2002, it is alleged that Michael D Richards sauntered in to netscape.public.mozilla.mail-news and loudly proclaimed:

I think he was talking about NNTP or S/NNTP (/i.e./, having different sets of NGs from the same server accessible as different news account), not POP or IMAP. You're talking about something very different (altho' http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41929#c8 would seem to fit this situation). You and flacco ought to get together, tho' I think he just wants multiple- identity/alias support; 41929 seems to be something a bit different. :-P /b. -- Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to: snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32 snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
