Subject: Mail goes to News server in PINE 3.91 for Windows. WHY?

Several users at our site have had a recurring problem where PINE 3.91
for Windows tries to post a mail message they're sending to a news server
instead of smtp-server, even if nntp-server, news-collections etc. are
blank.  If they keep retrying, the message is eventually SMTP'd, but
they have to retry (CTRL-X again) dozens of times.  As one might
imagine, these users are quite frustrated.

Can someone suggest how we can eliminate this problem?

Thanks,

Malcolm

I have also seen this with some of my users. They get a message that they are mailing to thousands of people,
do they really want to do that.
I too would like an answer to this.
