When you attempt to send a message, SeaMonkey will prompt you for the
password. There will be a checkbox to remember that password. It's the
same password manager used in the browser.
It isn't happening.

To send an email reply, control-click on the message, and select "Reply
to Sender Only". There's also a small arrow beside the Reply toolbar
icon, that will let you choose whether to reply in the newsgroup or to
the sender only.
To save a copy of a newsgroup article, you can either:
* drag the message to any mail folder
* control-click on the message and select "Copy To"
* On the menu bar, go to the Message menu and select "Copy To"
* Add the "File" toolbar icon to the toolbar, and click on it to copy
the message to a folder.
Solves the wrong problem. I want a method to automatically save copies of
everything I post. Any method that requires me to unfailingly remember to do
something is doomed.

Check "automatically place a copy on (select folder). Mine are saved
in Local Folders. They are automatically sorted by year sent.
> 2. Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the email
and/or news servers. This is essential for troubleshooting problems like why my
attempts to sent email never complete.
I think there is, but I can't find the preference right now. Hoping
someone else can look it up. :)
> 3. While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of messages
and postings, I have not found a way to change the size of text in such things as
the list of messages; this makes SM very difficult to use an a large
high-resolution display.
Try the instructions at <http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/mailnewsfaq/PaneText>.
I haven't tested that in years, so tell me if it doesn't work.
I'll try this. As I mentioned in a separate email, Zoom only affects the
message bodies, and not icons, list entries, et al, defeating the purpose of
Zoom.
Thanks,
Joe
