1 Hello,

3 When I try to click an email address in Craigslist to respond
4 to a poster, I get this error message:
5
6 Sending of message failed.
7 An error occurred sending mail: Unable to authenticate to SMTP server
8 smtp-server.tampabay.rr.com. It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but
9 you have chosen to use authentication. Uncheck 'Use name and password' for that
10 server or contact your service provider.

13 However, when I just cut and paste the same identical email address
14 into the to field of thunderbird, it works perfectly. I'm drawing
15 a blank for "keywords" or ideas to search out this problem.....
16 It use to work fine, so I'm guessing it's a thunderbird bug.
17 Where would I search out those sorts of bugs?
18
19 Could this be my bug?:

23 I use thunderbird, not seamonkey, for email....
24
25 ideas?
