I don't know if the problem is in pantomime or in gnumail. Previously
two or three clicks above the button "Check Supported" was enough to
obtain the supported mechanisms. The problem is that this don't work at
first time. Why? I think the problem is in CWSMTP class in pantomime.
The supported mechanisms are added in the method -serviceInitialized:
(same file). But for some reason this don't work always.
