It gets worse: OE/Outlook offer a "use Secure Password Auth"
option, which is _not_ SSL.
Although SMTP auth is orthogonal to SSL, they tend to be used
together. When Netscape Communicator 4.7 is offered the chance
to authenticate, it _insists_ on authenticating.
Then certain Eudora versions have quirks IIRC...
