It should have been posted as attachment and not inline. Doesn't work
for my SM 2.1 though *g* and i'm not much interested in fixing it. But
works for an old SM 2.0.1.

 Absolutely. That is just one of the reasons I've used Netscape,
 Mozilla, and now SeaMonkey.

 Yes. When did the integration take place? Netscape version 3.0 or so?

 The first version I used was Netscape 3.0.a.Gold which I had to pay
 $35.00 Buck for. it was received on a CD and had a Paper Back 200 page
 manual.

 
 OMG, I had the very same thing!  Then I used version 4 until migrating
 to Mozilla.
 
And back before Netscape I used unix commands since our pc was
interfaced to a SUN system.  That was lot's of fun, NOT.  And the
interface boards at that time all had built-in IP addresses assigned by
the government.  Then came Procomm and Procomm+ before I used Netscape.

Anyhow, I'm more than happy with an integrated net program such as
SeaMonkey.  I wasn't too happy with 2.0.0, but when I was able to get
the password problem solved (don't use one) and the auto-mail addressing
situation resolved I've been quite happy with SM.  Only two minor issues
left to take care of (at least for my operation) are the inability to
delete addresses from mailing lists in the manner that existed in 1.x
and I really do miss the 'QUICKSTART' button.  Please bring it back.

Phil,

I usually do a PDF version of these from time to time. That way I have a
snapshot of my passwords at any given time, in case some are lost in
the future.  I can look back to see what they were.  (Or you could just
print them out.)  Otherwise, I have my View Passwords HTML document
bookmarked in SeaMonkey so that whenever I want, I bring it up for my
current passwords.

 I've deleted the filter and re-added it.  Same thing.
 
 It had a mind of it's own.  It pretty much makes messages filters
 useless.

I have removed and reinstalled the filter and the email account it
is attached to.  Same thing happens.  

This account is set up to POP from pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (ATT
DSL).  The only thing odd I notice occasionally is when stafrt the
email client, it often say splease wait while the folder is being
processed.  Apparently it was already checking mail when I fired up
the mail window.

The filter itself is pretty simple:

version=9
logging=yes
name=TOSNA
enabled=no
type=17
action=Move to folder
actionValue=mailbox://nob...@local%20folders/TOSNA
condition=AND (subject,contains,TOSNA)

It's the only filter in the file.  And it keeps disabling itself for
no apparent reason.  Log file is working fine - it logs everything
normally up until the point it disables itself.

So much for message filters.

You can. Download the ZIP version, extract it somewhere, run the
executable and skip profile migration. You'll end up with a fresh
profile, in a new location, and your current SeaMonkey will be
unaffected. Then you can install the extension and try it out. Just quit
your current SeaMonkey before you do, or start the new one with the

Once you want to actually switch, start the extracted version with the

Spell-checker bugs in SM2

2010-02-03 Thread David Wilkinson
Using SM2 on Windows 7 x64.

My spell-checker dictionary transferred successfully from SM1 but I notice a
couple of problems:

1. Sometimes, mis-spelled words will be missed (no red underline). In another
situation, this same word will be caught. It happens often enough to be a real
nuisance. I do not remember this in SM1.

2. If you are reading an RSS feed as a web page, and that page has a text-entry
field, the spell checker works (red underline is present) but right-clicking on
the offending word does not bring up the spell-checker context menu (just the
usual browser context menu).

Anybody else noticed these things?

new tabs just as fast as new windows.

Not to mention, I often have 10-20 tabs open at a time. Trying to keep
track of that many windows is a nightmare.

I realize this might not be your work model. If you only have a couple
or three open at a time, it probably works, and if it works for you,
that's great. But 10 times faster? Please provide some data to back
that up.

Lee



YMMV.

But for me its like the difference between night and day. And, it was
related to having Multiple windows open for going each link in a page
rather than reusing the same window.

I don't have the luxury of one of the newfangled 8 GB , quadcore
machines. I'm still using just a lowly 1.67GB PowerPC Machine. Plus I
have a Slow DSL Line (1 mb synchronous). so setting to open in same
window sped up for me as I said.

As you know, I don't do tabs.



Well, then how the heck do you know its 10 times faster???

I will detail the tests I ran.

I do have a fast iMac, with a fast cable connection.

I cleared the cache, and opened my my.myway start page. I opened 20
links in tabs, 10 were my.myway pages, and ten were external links.

I then cleared the cache, and repeated with opening new windows.

There was virtually no difference. The my.myway pages show the load
time, and most gave the tabs a slight edge, but from my standpoint, I
didn't actually notice a difference. All the pages opened quickly,
whether tabs or windows.

Knowing that you have an older Mac, I reran the same test on my PowerMac
G4, running Tiger. Its a 450 mhz with 640 MB of ram, far slower than
what you are running.

Same results, if anything, the tabs were faster, though it was not
noticeable as a user, within less then a second.

Interesting to note the old PowerMac pulled the pages just as fast as
the iMac Intel.

iMac Intel, OS X 10.6.2
3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM

PowerMac PPC G4
450 MHz
640 MB RAM

Same internet connection, same SM 2.0.2, same speed. I've always said
that older machines are far from dead as far as the internet is concerned.

Phillip, I respect what you are trying to do here. I agree with a lot of
it, some of it I disagree completely, but I respect it none the less.

But, when you say things like 10 times faster with absolutely nothing
to back it up, and indeed, when it is just clearly so wrong, it damages
your credibility, and people are much less likely to take you seriously.

Lee






I think Phillip tends to exaggerate sometimes, so I don't take something 
like 10 times faster literally, but rather I think it means just 
faster . . . how much actually is debatable, but your tests seem to be 
more precise.  Nevertheless, I do take him seriously, just with a grain 
of salt.


On the topic of faster, I think you put it well when you said from my 
standpoint, I didn't actually notice a difference.  Most discussions on 
browser speeds boil down to maybe a few seconds faster, which a user 
isn't really going to notice as significant.


There are, however, times when the speed IS noticeable, and in that 
regard Phillip's testimony sometimes leaves me wondering . . . was it 
really all that much more fast, or is this '10 times' thing just a 
matter of a few puny seconds?  I don't necessarily think it is wrong 
for Phillip to do that, so I might disagree with you there, but I do 
agree that it stretches the credibility of the statement if you take it 
literally.

This is nothing more then a very kludgey workaround, but if you really

Depending on your screen res and how many passwords you have saved, you

Please reread. 10 times as opposed the way it was (opening multiple
windows and not reusing the same window). I've tried tabs (I just don't
use them) and for my setup and machine they are slow.



Phillip, did you miss Lee's para...I then cleared the cache, and
repeated with opening new windows.

Sure seems like he tried multiple Windows to me, not just comparing a
iMac Intel, OS X 10.6.2 with a PowerMac PPC G4

Daniel


Yes I have to keep my cache files clean. In fact I clean them at least
once a day. If I don't SM 2.0.2 crashes. As it stands now it has been
crashing about once ever two or three days. I've started out with 1,
then 10, then back to 1000, finally 5000 nothing seems to help.
Funny thing it affects email more than web browsing but sometimes it
affects web browsing.



The point I was trying to make, Phillip, (and I guess Lee was trying as 
well) was, if you download a page, all its bits and pieces are saved in 
the cache, so the second time you want to display that page, bang, it's 
there, apparently loaded much quicker.


So unless you are clearing your cache *between* doing the test for 
multiply TABS verses multiply WINDOWS, you're not being fair!!

Running Netscape, the second para states You must have a direct
Internet connection before you can use Netscape. The ability to send and
receive e-mail does not necessarily mean you can run Netscape. There are
three requirements for Netscape Navigator 1.1..

O.K., it doesn't specifically say you can use Netscape 1.1 to send and
receive e-mail.

In the program itself, you can select Directory-Go to Newsgroups or
you can select File-Mail Document opens up a page where you can enter
Mail To (which I guess is where you would but an e-mail address) or or
the same page, Post Newsgroup (which is pretty obvious), Subject and

Then a large portion of the screen where you can type information, and,
at the bottom, Send, Quote Document and Cancel

Nah, I was wrong. I just checked  I still have my original 1.0 book
(can't find the floppy just now) and for email it references using
Eudora Lite. Newsgroups was available, but the email client was Eudora.
I still have my original book, invoices,  upgrade invoices... maybe
they'll be work something on eBay someday :-)



So when did Eudora stop being part of Netscape??

I based on my opinion *my systems* . I have two G-4's, a 500 Mb and. and 
1.67GB PowerBook 17 slow compared to the Intel machines of today. plus 
they just have one processor with one core, and cache speed is 100mb on 
the G4-500,  one 167 Mb on the 1.67GB.  the G4-500 had 1.5 GB memory. 
The 1.67Gb has 2 Gb.


Now if I had one of them new 8 core 4 GB machines, may be difference 
would barely be noticeable. But on my machines the improvement when I 
finally figured out how to reuse the same window was dramatic, for me 10 
times was the difference.


Now if I could stop the SeaMonkey Crashes I'd be happy:

Since 10/29/2009 I've had ten Crashes. And I've actually had two or 
three others That I cleared out before this.


In the entire history of SM 1.x including crashes caused by the full 
circle crash reporter I had maybe 6 (in about 5-6 years). And I used 
almost as many as many extensions and themes as I use  now.  Most are

I suppose that it's what you are familiar with. TB3 was a big leap not
just in features but in significant changes to the UI. If you've spent
years burning TB2 into your muscle memory, you might get upset that your
favourite wossits aren't in their accustomed locations - even or
especially if the UI is more Mac-like.

Yeah...I had also been using TB 2.x prior to 3.0...so I did have some 
expectations based on my negative experience with SM 2.0 - I installed 
TB 3.0 sometime after I had been fooling around with the newer SM, so I 
wasn't really expecting to be thrilled.


I was, and surprisingly so...I immediately liked the tabs, and 
everything was where I would have expected it to be on a Mac.  It also 
didn't seem like I lost any functionality for what I do with TB like I 
did with SM 2.x.x, and that was also of note.


Maybe that team has more Mac users on it or something, but from my Mac 
user standpoint they got a lot of stuff right.  Kudos to them.

 Phillip, I would be careful about making statements that you cannot
 backup, it will damage your credibility.

 10 times faster? Come on now! I tried disabling tabs, and opening
 windows instead, with no gain in speed at all. The same links open in
 new tabs just as fast as new windows.

 Not to mention, I often have 10-20 tabs open at a time. Trying to keep
 track of that many windows is a nightmare.

 I realize this might not be your work model. If you only have a couple
 or three open at a time, it probably works, and if it works for you,
 that's great. But 10 times faster? Please provide some data to back
 that up.

 Lee


 YMMV.

 But for me its like the difference between night and day. And, it was
 related to having Multiple windows open for going each link in a page
 rather than reusing the same window.

 I don't have the luxury of one of the newfangled 8 GB , quadcore
 machines. I'm still using just a lowly 1.67GB PowerPC Machine. Plus I
 have a Slow DSL Line (1 mb synchronous). so setting to open in same
 window sped up for me as I said.

 As you know, I don't do tabs.


 Well, then how the heck do you know its 10 times faster???

 I will detail the tests I ran.

 I do have a fast iMac, with a fast cable connection.

 I cleared the cache, and opened my my.myway start page. I opened 20
 links in tabs, 10 were my.myway pages, and ten were external links.

 I then cleared the cache, and repeated with opening new windows.

 There was virtually no difference. The my.myway pages show the load
 time, and most gave the tabs a slight edge, but from my standpoint, I
 didn't actually notice a difference. All the pages opened quickly,
 whether tabs or windows.

 Knowing that you have an older Mac, I reran the same test on my PowerMac
 G4, running Tiger. Its a 450 mhz with 640 MB of ram, far slower than
 what you are running.

 Same results, if anything, the tabs were faster, though it was not
 noticeable as a user, within less then a second.

 Interesting to note the old PowerMac pulled the pages just as fast as
 the iMac Intel.

 iMac Intel, OS X 10.6.2
 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo
 4 GB RAM

 PowerMac PPC G4
 450 MHz
 640 MB RAM

 Same internet connection, same SM 2.0.2, same speed. I've always said
 that older machines are far from dead as far as the internet is concerned.

 Phillip, I respect what you are trying to do here. I agree with a lot of
 it, some of it I disagree completely, but I respect it none the less.

 But, when you say things like 10 times faster with absolutely nothing
 to back it up, and indeed, when it is just clearly so wrong, it damages
 your credibility, and people are much less likely to take you seriously.

 Lee





 I think Phillip tends to exaggerate sometimes, so I don't take something
 like 10 times faster literally, but rather I think it means just
 faster . . . how much actually is debatable, but your tests seem to be
 more precise.  Nevertheless, I do take him seriously, just with a grain
 of salt.

 On the topic of faster, I think you put it well when you said from my
 standpoint, I didn't actually notice a difference.  Most discussions on
 browser speeds boil down to maybe a few seconds faster, which a user
 isn't really going to notice as significant.

 There are, however, times when the speed IS noticeable, and in that
 regard Phillip's testimony sometimes leaves me wondering . . . was it
 really all that much more fast, or is this '10 times' thing just a
 matter of a few puny seconds?  I don't necessarily think it is wrong
 for Phillip to do that, so I might disagree with you there, but I do
 agree that it stretches the credibility of the statement if you take it
 literally.

 BJ
 I based on my opinion *my systems* . I have two G-4's, a 500 Mb and. and
 1.67GB PowerBook 17 slow compared to the Intel machines of today. plus
 they just have one processor with one core, and cache speed is 100mb on
 the G4-500,  one 167 Mb on the 1.67GB.  the G4-500 had 1.5 GB memory.
 The 1.67Gb has 2 Gb.

 Now if I had one of them new 8 core 4 GB machines, may be difference
 would barely be noticeable. But on my machines the improvement when I
 finally figured out how to reuse the same window was dramatic, for me 10
 times was the difference.

 Now if I could stop the SeaMonkey Crashes I'd be happy:

 Since 10/29/2009 I've had ten Crashes. And I've actually had two or
 three others That I cleared out before this.

 In the entire history of SM 1.x including crashes caused by the full
 circle crash reporter I had maybe 6 (in about 5-6 years). And I used
 almost as many as many extensions and themes as I use  now.  Most are
 triggered during reading email/news.
 Incidentally they have the same Reason for crash:
 
 EXC_BAD_ACCESS /

 Nah, I was wrong. I just checked  I still have my original 1.0 book
 (can't find the floppy just now) and for email it references using
 Eudora Lite. Newsgroups was available, but the email client was Eudora.
 I still have my original book, invoices,  upgrade invoices... maybe
 they'll be work something on eBay someday :-)

 
 So when did Eudora stop being part of Netscape??

Got me. I'd have to find the original floppy to install (I'm sure I have
it somewhere) to test. CRS is a problem these days, so I can't recall
what it was exactly that I was using circa 95-96 (other than a Tymnet
email client that I'd been using since 1983  pine on a shell account).

Actually the shorter post are more likely to cause the crash.

Thanks, I already told them the W3C validator returns 8 errors and 13

errors and the loss of functionality, they are unlikely to be 
interested.




I recommend that you send them the _results_ and pointers to all three
validators and recommend/argue that as a matter of good programming
they need to correct all the syntax errors in their code at least.
After all, don't they correct all the syntax errors reported by the
compilers of all of their programs as a first step in the program
coding process.
(Or, is that no longer current common practice ???)

For the moment, I'm wrestling with an unrelated problem -- had a bad 
sector on my HDD, and after fixing it, my backup software (which btw I 
reinstalled) compiles the file list normally, but then after a few 
minutes it terminates and reports (for all 80,000-odd files) path not 
found. How it can find the paths to compile the list but not to save 
the files I don't know


Співчуваю/ My sympathies. Perhaps you need to try backing up in 
pieces. Or, if the files are accessible and readable by the system

otherwise, then do a brute force XCOPY (?). Or, try a different
backup program.

Anyway, My trying to do a Reply-all to your article is what caused
my triple posting (due to system #...@?!).
When I did the send, the system/SeaMonkey reported a DNS error!
but did not give any information as to which address was the cause.
Nor did it indicate that the message had been sent to the other
address, which happened to be the news server.
Trouble shooting the problem caused the re-sends to the newsgroup :(

Well, to start with, your users are your best user experience people, 
some seem to get that and some don't...


... but that's something you're going to have to explain to me - all 
this hired vs volunteer stuff.  Who's who, and how are they doing what?


Seeing as all these apps are free, I've been assuming that everyone is a 
volunteer.  So, just who is paying the hired guns, how do they make 
enough money on a free product to get paid, and just why and what keeps 
it all free?
