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
Sorry. They will NOT be sorted by year. It is Archived messages that
are sorted by year automatically.
