I've configured messenger's SMTP server to not user name/pwd (Mail/News prefs->Outgoing Server->Use Name and Password isn't checked.) I also use SMTP over SSL. When I try to send a Word or Excel document, I get a dialog from Netscape 6 mail requesting name/pwd. Then, if I haven't already in my session, I need to enter some device pwd to retrieve my cert and select my cert. If I identify myself to the SMTP server with a certificate, I shouldn't have to do it with name/pwd, which is the behavior when I normally send an email from messenger (I don't get prompted for name/pwd). In my opinion the behavior should be the same when sending an email using simple mapi and messenger stand alone.

changing to mail/news.

-> to right owners

the simple mapi guys got rid of the mapi dialog. I checked that patch in for them last night. Marking this bug a dup of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 103172 ***
