SeaMonkey 1.1.17 Compatibility with MailWasher 6.51 (Free)

2009-08-12 Thread Frog
I am presently using the free version of MailWasher 6.1 on my system in 
combination with SeaMonkey 1.1.17.  The MailWasher 6.1 software has 
always given me an effective method for reviewing (and deleting messages 
from) my server before my messages are actually downloaded to my system. 
 I have used this software for a number of years with good results. 
Recently, however, I have noticed that MailWasher 6.1 is beginning to 
behave erratically/strangely at times--making me believe it is time for 
me to reload this software.  Here is the point where I need help.


I checked the MailWasher Web page and learned that the free version of 
this software is now MailWasher 6.51.  It indicates on the web page that 
it is compatible with Thunderbird 2 (no mention of SeaMonkey is 
indicated on this web page).  Is it likely that this MailWasher 6.51 
software is compatible with SeaMonkey 1.1.17 software?  Additionally, I 
have downloaded the MailWasher 6.51 (free) software to my computer and 
need to know how best to load it on my system (if anybody has experience 
with this software).  Do I remove the existing software (via Add/Remove) 
or simply let the updated version load over the existing version.  I 
can't find the answer to this question on the software makers web page 
(must have Pro version or the paid for version of MailWasher before I 
can get this information from the software maker).  My reason for 
wanting to be careful of my actions here is my present version has been 
"trained" to recognize what I consider good messages and what I consider 
to be spam.  I would like to maintain this established "training" in my 
new updated version of MailWasher 6.51.


Windows XP SP3

Thanks for any help sent my way on this subject.

Sorry it took awhile... I forgot Windows needs to first install a
bazillion updates, then reboot, then do some more., etc.

Anyway:

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/install-and-uninstall
I'll modify the Windows instructions slightly - my
modifications/comments are prefaced by "NoOp:":


Windows Installation Instructions

For Windows 2000/XP systems, you need Administrator privileges to
install SeaMonkey. If you see an "Error 5" message during installation,
make sure you're running the installation with Administrator privileges.

To install SeaMonkey by downloading the SeaMonkey installer

NoOp: link is: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.0b1

, follow these steps:

   1. Click the link to seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.installer.exe (or
similar file name) on the site you're downloading SeaMonkey from to
download the installer file to your machine.

NoOp: The file is 'SeaMonkey Setup 2.0 Beta 1.exe' - why the mozilla
folks decided to use this naming convention with spaces in it is beyond
me... Further, the reference to the above
"seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.installer.exe" is wrong.
  Before proceeding: right click your SeaMonkey icon on your desktop and
rename to 'SeaMonkey 1.x' so that you later can bring up SM 1.1.x easily.

   2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the
installer file icon on your machine to begin the Setup program.

NoOp:

- SeaMonkey Setup Wizard
  - Next
- Click the 'I accept the terms in this License Agreement' (you might
want to read them first... by accepting you agree to allow Mozilla to
use your children for development purposes.
  - Next
- Setup Type
  - Click Custom
  - Next
- Choose Optional Components (leave everything checked)
  - Next
- Choose Install Location
  - Change C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\ to
 C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey2\
Note: the default of C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\ should be fine if your
old installation is located in C:\Program Files\mozilla but changing to
C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey2\ will ensure that your install folder is
different & won't interfere with 1.1.x.

- Set Up Shortcuts
  - Next
- Choose Start Menu Folder
  - Change from 'SeaMonkey' to 'SeaMonkey2' [1]
  - Next
- Summary
  - Install
- Completing...
  - Finish (leave 'Launch SeaMonkey now' checked'

SeaMonkey will start.

- Click Help|About SeaMonkey - and verify that the window shows version
2.0b1.
- Click the 'mail' icon in the lower left panel.
Verify that your mail/news profiles from 1.1.x have been imported and
are intact.


- Exit SeaMonkey.
- Right click the new SeaMonkey icon on the desktop and rename it
'SeaMonkey2': Properties|General|SeaMonkey2. This helps to identify
between SeaMonkey 1.x and SeaMonkey2. Do the same for the SeaMonkey icon
in the quick start panel.

Now you can click on either the 1.1x icon or the 2x icon and launch
either 1.1.x or 2.0x.

Normally to launch both at the same time you will need to do the following:

Right click the SeaMonkey icons, select Properties and in 'Target' add
at the end of the line where it shows 'seamonkey.exe"': -noremote
and then click 'Apply' and then 'OK. So it will read:
C:\\seamonkey.exe" -noremote

  Be sure to do it for both the SM2 and SM1 icons.

That last doesn't seem to be working for me on the WinXP test system;
works on linux to I'll need to test more tomorrow. However, the above
will allow you to run either or for now.

To automatically size a column to fit its title, do the same thing, but

My mistake. The second paragraph is withdrawn, it doesn't work like that 
in SeaMonkey.

This is on a Windows XP Pro SP2 system using a Microsoft Wireless Mouse,

No problem here, SM 1.1.16 on WinXP SP3.

When I right-click on a map (even though the hand is showing), I 
immediately get the Google context menu, and it's easy to choose "What's 
here?" or any of the other options. If I do, I get info on the location 
I pointed to when I clicked, not necessarily on the location I searched. 
And it does re-search on the lat/long coordinates as you say.

Problem with right-clicking on a Google map

2009-08-12 Thread John
With Internet Explorer I can right-click on a Google Map and it pops up 
a special Google menu which has a very useful (to me) choice at the 
bottom: "What's here?". Clicking on that returns the latitude and 
longitude of the selected point in the Google search box. I've been told 
by other users that this also works with Firefox 3.5.

print problem

2009-08-12 Thread Norvin
Recently when I try to print an email and I hit 'print' and then I get 
the small screen asking how many copies, etc, I hit the 'OK' and it 
would print. Now for some reason (?) after I hit the 'print' I get the 
screen but it is in the lower right section of the email screen and the
'OK' button is not in sight and I have to raise the print screen to get 
to the ok button. Not a big problem for me but the wife is not 
understanding why it is not working like it use to, and I guess I am to.
Any suggestions on how to move it back into the middle of the monitor to 
make life easier for my wife.

Some newsgroups are just impossible to keep up with, because of spammers
cross posting, and constantly changing their addresses.  Of course it's
always worse in the summer, when all the kiddies have too much time on

2.0 provides filtering by headers, so it's relatively easy to filter any
crossposted post. Just filter on:

Newsgroup
  contains
 ,

Have you tested that successfully?
I tried to add a tag for a test and nothing happened at all :-S

The last filter deleted the entire post, so I'll need to turn that
filter off so I can test again on the next round of cross posts.

Basically, for the test I have it set to "Mark As Read" & Mark As
Flagged" so that I can see when the filter is taking place.



What SM version are you using?  I want that ability!!!  :)

Newsgroup contains ,



2.o has a new "Header" option for Newsgroups?   [My version 1.1.14, only 
has the

option of filtering on Subject, From, and Date.]

If it blocks cross posting with a comma filter under a "header" option , 
I'll update my suite today!  :)

multipart/mixed just means that it contains multiple parts that can have 
mixed content. The attachments are inside that enclosure and have their 
own MIME type.

Anti-Virus software and operating system security rules can kick in to

If the attachment would have some file type set that fits better what's

would offer you to select an application, but when it's marked as "some

Thanks Robert,

very clear explanation !
In an example I see a MIME type multipart / mixed though...
anyway, thanks for the details...
and keep on the (very) good work for SM2 !!

Hello all,

I'm stuck on my WinXP based SM2 when opening an email attachment which
is a file.vsd (i.e. a "Visio" file). Currently, I can only "save" it.
Is there a way to add to the helper the use of the visio.exe program
when double-clicking it (email attachment) ?
is there a particular file to tweak for that ?
