I did (with help) manage to solve the main hang-up in the first list - I van
now send emails when I post.
I have a mystery, though. While I can post to the forum via this path, I
cannot post through the obvious path, and have no idea how I came upon the
working path. When I post using the standard path (with a standard newsreader
GUI, I get a strange error message:
"Send Message - This account only supports email recipients. Continuing will ignore newsgroups."
The claimed newsgroup is "mozilla.support.seamonkey" under a "Newsgroups" tag.
The URL for the path that works is
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!newtopic/mozilla.support.seamonkey>.
Now standard news readers do not recognize a "mozilla.support.seamonkey"
newsgroup, so something proprietary is being done. It's a Google Group in drag. I found
it in Google Groups, but there seem to be many decoys there. Confusing.
Here is this thread in GG:
.<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mozilla.support.seamonkey/new$20user$20with$20questions%7Csort:relevance>
Anyway, what's going on and how does one fix it?
It is sort of goofy. Google groups duplicates many newsgroups, but they are
still newsgroups. This one is no exception. It's just not hosted by the
major newsgroup servers, rather by mozilla.org.
There is also an email list, but I'm not clear on whether you can post
through it or if it is only for reading. Doesn't matter to me, I much
prefer newsgroups over mailing lists for casual topics.
