I've used SeaMonkey (hah - it thinks i've spelt that wrong..)for a
while now, and it's great.
Two things will keep me using it.
1) It's memory footprint is smaller than Firefox + Thunderbird, and my
laptop can't cope
with the latter.
2) Right click on URL in email - "Open in new Tab".
Cheers, Rex
And there was me thinking I was the last Mozilla holdout onlist :)
Why? - Ctrl-2 = email open from browser, + "Right click on URL in email
- "Open in new [window]" option. About the most useful email extension
available, I reckon. Because the Tab bar can be a (confusing) waste of
screen real estate (on 1024x768).
To live without tabbed browsing, utilise your multiple *nix desktops
(Workspaces in GNOME). I have eight just for browsers, then a tabbed
Terminal, email, system monitor / filesystem, firewall / network, 2 x
gEdit (notes + html), & gFTP - sixteen desktops in total.
KDE 3.5 caught up with how easily you can follow and manipulate such a
layout, with icons to show what's where, so I'm prepared to use it again
now.
But I shall review http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ once the
Ubuntu package becomes available, thanks Rex.
Who knows? - It might just retain the ~/.mozilla/* filesystem layout.
