 I tried that and when I attempted to send mail the log file had
sending : AUTH CRAM-MD5
received: 330 P...............Pg== <middle of encoded string removed> 
sending : AUTH CRAM-MD5
received: 501 Error in AUTH response encoding.

Look's to me like the mail server is not understanding the encoded
string.  The SMTP server is David Harris's Mercury running on a Netware
6 server.  As I said works with other email clients I've tried.
