(Whiteboard: [nsbeta1+]) 

Build ID: 2001050904, Windows 2000 and Mac OS 9.1

Summary: Security icon in the taskbar is not reflecting secure newsgroup.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Add a secure newsgroup server such as secnews.netscape.com.
2.  Go into Account Manager and change the checkbox "Use secure connection
(SSL)" to be true.
3.  Exit and restart Mozilla.
4.  Notice that the newsgroup has the secure icon in the folder pane, and is
indeed running on port 563 (as shown by doing a netstat)
5.  Look at the statusbar/taskbar's lock icon.

Expected Results:

As with https:// pages and secure IMAP, the icon should be in a locked state,
and should be gold, not blue.

Actual Results:

Icon never changes state
Eek, secure IMAP doesn't do this either, but NS 4.7x does, Karen is this a known
bug?

cc'ing mscott / bryner.

I'll have to go see how (and when) the lock changes state for browser.
imap does this...or at least it used too. I hooked it up myself. I'm not sure
why news wouldn't work as it's along for the ride.....something may have regressed.
I believe this is actually not our bug (or not partially).  See bug 80468, which
just had a fix checked in by Darin Fisher.
