Re: SSL Support

[Tony Christney <tchristney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jon,

I did some testing with JavaMail 1.3.3 and it is
compatible with FTJava, at least on Linux and Mac.

I think that there are almost certainly minor
GUI issues with the MT missiles (like inappropriate
menu options, etc.) I think that it would also be
good to implement the alternate MT missile moving
method (like SMLs).

There also needs to be a mechanism for setting the
SSL options in the Preferences dialog.

Does this mean that you are back at the FTJava code?

Tony.
