There       is no need to create a new one just for SM. Further, SM is       a separate program, it doesn't not use the TB or anyother       programs profile.              As for sending, close the program, open your firewall and       remove all the Netscape and SeaMonkey entries. Restart SM.        Does it work now?              --       *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but messages emailed to me will be       disregarded!!!!              Peter Potamus & His Magic Flying Balloon:       http://www.toonopedia.com/potamus.htm              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
