I use Seamonkey for email and related things too. I use Firefox for some other things, it has more add-ons than Seamonkey. To me, it seems as if Seamonkey is not getting the attention it used to. It's not lean and mean, it's fat and slow. I'm not sure what makes it so tho. I'm glad Firefox is better tho. Makes me wonder about the next gcc. o_O Dale :-) :-)
