That's the problem.
on SM a Pre 1 trying to set use ssl clicking on it switches to 563 but
as soon as you click and dismiss the Preference window it bounces back
to 119.
So SM for now is severely broken so far a Mail and news goes. And the
web browser portion is pokier than Communicator 4 at the current pace I
don't see it as a viable replacement for 1x for two years or more.
