Using the 0.9 milestone release (20041103), when creating a new account the
Account Wizard displays instructional info about setting up secondary SMTP
servers that applies to the Suite but not to Thunderbird.

Namely, the Account Wizard says "You can modify outgoing server settings by
choosing Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings from the Edit menu." This is
confusing, because in Thunderbird you have to go Tools > Account Settings to
modify SMTP server settings. (See attached screenshot.)

If there are other places in TB where Suite-specific info is referenced, I hope
these can be weeded out by the 1.0 release. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. File > New > Account... to create a secondary mail account.
2. Enter the account info in the Account Wizard.
3. When you get to the screen about server information, notice the
Suite-specific blurb about SMTP server setup, as described above.
Actual Results:  
Suite-specific blurb is given in the Account Wizard, as described above.

Expected Results:  
Account Wizard should give info appropriate for Thunderbird's actual menus.
