Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008E-mail from MT-NewsWatcher
The MT-Newswatcher says that I should tell Mail to make it my default reader. It already is. But that's all I have been able to find to set up MT-Newswatcher so that I can forward a message to an e-mail address. > The MT-Newswatcher says that I should tell Mail to make it my default > reader.

Special -> Personalities menu is at least part of the solution. > The MT-Newswatcher says that I should tell Mail to make it my default > reader. It already is.

When you compose a message, there are 3 buttons at the top: Post News, Send Email, Copy Self. You can choose among them by selecting and deselecting. When you select "Send Email" it adds a To: field to the headers. Be careful of munged addresses.  SignatureW. Oates >> The MT-Newswatcher says that I should tell Mail to make it my default >> reader.

Be careful of munged addresses. I was hesitant about adding my e-mail settings because I have accidentally checked the e-mail. It always fails. Finally I wanted to forward a message, so I looked for where I add the e-mail settings, didn't find it then checked the MT-NewsWatcher help menu. It told me that if I used Mail, go to the Mail preference to set it as my default mailer (which it already was). > >> The MT-Newswatcher says that I should tell Mail to make it my default > >> reader.

I just looked at a few of the Help items ("Replying to Articles" and "Forwarding Articles"), and didn't see any that said this. MT-NW has its own, built-in SMTP client. You configure it in Special->Personalities, in the Mail Server tab.

I've rarely used it (except by accident), but I know it works. SignatureW. Oates > > MT-NW has its own, built-in SMTP client.

The software that sends trough the ISP's server is the SMTP client.

MTNW's "client" will hand off mail to whatever server you specify in Personalities/Mail Server. Make sure you get the authentication details right. My ISP blocks port 25, so I can't use my internal sendmail (postfix, whatever), but they quit happily accept mail from MTNW. Here's some headers from an email I sent myself from MTNW just now: From: Warren Oates <warren.oates@gmail.com> To: warren.oates@gmail.com Subject: test ignore Organization: The Lady in Red Inc. User-Agent: MT-NewsWatcher/3.5.3b2 (Intel Mac OS X) Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 07:42:25 -0400 arrived quite happily in my Gmail inbox within seconds. Note that I didn't override the User-Agent header for mail, only for news. It's quite a clever little mail sender. I don't think you can set it up to actually receive mail, though. SignatureW.

A POP or IMAP client receives mail. Mail readers, like Mail.app and Thunderbird, contain both; MT-NW just contains the former. > MTNW's "client" will hand off mail to whatever server you specify > in Personalities/Mail Server.

That's exactly what I was referring to when I wrote, "MT-NW has a built-in SMTP client." I'm trying to understand the point you were making when you replied "If you configure it to send thru 127.0.0.1, it will." It will *what*? I never said it wouldn't do something, yet you seemed to be correcting such a statement.
