Untrue. Only email.
Are you absolutely sure?
'Bout as sure as I can be, given my proclivity as a human to sometimes err.
When I do Edit | Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings for this account,
there's an option for "Outgoing Server (SMTP):"
I'm posting this reply with Pan 0.14.2.91 -- and there is no place
whatsoever in the server setups to enter any SMTP information.
And when I click send to post this message, the status bar shows that it's
contacting the relevant server.
Which would be? news.mozilla.org ? Not your ISP's SMTP server.
As it turns out, you're right. I saw that when I looked again closely.
My apologies.
SMTP is not used for news.
My newsreaders (which are not email clients) have no SMTP settings.
Must be possible, I spose, but it's not how SeaMonkey (or Mozilla before
it) is configured out of the box.
Perhaps the setup dialog shows artifacts because it is also an email
application...
P'raps.
