Can't open .pdf email attachments

2010-07-07 Thread Lance Courtland
When I click on a .pdf attachment in email, SM always asks Where do I 
want to save it.  SM used to just open it directly.  All the options in 
Edit/Preferences/Browser/Helper Applications show 'Use Adobe Acrobat (in 
Seamonkey)' for application/pdf documents.  If I do save the pdf, it 
opens fine in Reader or Acrobat.


In the Adobe Reader, 'Edit/Preferences/Internet/Display PDF in browser' 
is checked.


Why can't I open the attachment by clicking on it like I used to?

Win XP Pro SP3
Seamonkey 2.0.5
Adobe Reader 9.3
Adobe Acrobat pro 7.1.0

TIA

Lance

SM 2.0.6 Entering email addresses

2010-07-07 Thread NoOp
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)
Gecko/20100704 Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.6

Just ran across an odd issue that I can't recall seeing before. I am
composing an email and attempting to enter an email address in the 'To:'
field. The problem is that I have an addressbook entry that is
conflicting. Example:

Addressbook entry:

'Bill Somename' 

When I attemp to enter _only_:

race...@someisp.com

SM automatically fills in the entry with
'Bill Somename' 

There seems to be no way to just enter the email address
race...@someisp.com by itself. The problem is that the email address is
an office address rather than a personal email address & while sometimes
I wish to send to 'Bill Somename' at the same address, in this case I'd
just like to send to the address without the 'Bill Somename' tag.

Anyone else seeing the same & any suggestions for fixing the issue?

It appears your browser sucks.

You are either using Microsoft Internet Explorer or an unrecognized browser.

Internet Explorer is unsafe and slow. Additionally, it and some other
minor browsers do not support some of the new technologies in use on
this site, such as CSS 3 and HTML 5. I recommend one of the following
browsers, for the best, fullest browsing experience

* Firefox 3.5+
* Chrome 2+
* Safari 3+

Close This Window

You can close this warning and continue browsing, but you have been warned.

If there is PCL code in the output sent by the app to the _printer
driver_ there is a mistake somewhere along the line. I can't conceive of
any app itself generating PCL in the printer output unless that app is
running custom code designed to send to and in order to manually control
a pcl printer.

In the case that an app needs to do this, the output should not go
through a printer driver, but be sent raw directly to the printer,
normally sent directly to the port that the printer is connected to.

A related issue (apparently not yours) recently, tcpip "network
printers" connected directly to a network connection have become more
common and, since the only way to get to a network printer is via a
printer driver, this may create similar problems.

In the case of mozilla, I would expect that the only time this might
happen would be if a pcl _printer output file_ is opened by mozilla that
already contains PCL code and then "printed" rather than downloaded and
redirected to the printer.

PCL may only be a coincidence, since I don't have any other printers.

The problem with blaming the printer driver is that it only ever happens 
in Seamonkey 2.0.x. Every other app prints just fine and it never 
happened in Seamonkey 1.x. I always thought if something starts not 
working you looked at what changed.

Being old doesn't mean they shouldn't work, they seem to work fine for 
everything else. But I have installed the Universal Printer driver for 
the 2100 and it seems to work much better, although it is a lot bigger 
and slower.


All of the drivers have been updated to the latest release since I 
installed Seamonkey 2.0.x, but the old ones worked fine in Seamonkey 
1.x. Something changed for the worse in Seamonkey 2.0.x


On the other hand the 8500 is less than three months old and a current 
HP model.

Actually most of these printers are network printers. However that would 
not explain garbled Print Preview display. The Officejet 5600 is the 
only printer directly connected to a computer and it seem to have the 
worst problem. Sometimes an email will print on one printer and not 
another. I beleive that Seamonkey is not sending consistent output to 
the printers.



In the case of mozilla, I would expect that the only time this might
happen would be if a pcl _printer output file_ is opened by mozilla that
already contains PCL code and then "printed" rather than downloaded and

My take is that Mozilla is not properly selecting the code to send to 
the printer driver. Many of the problems are printing emails created in 
Seamonkey and printed in Seamonkey, no stary code possible there. They 
are often emails I wrote.

There are several different printers where it happens.

HP Lasetjet2100 dtn
HP Officejet 5610
HP 8500
HP Business Inkjet 1100 c
Savin 2522

The only thing they have in common is that they are all some form of PCL.

Posting is something that I'll need to do later. I need to be able to 
show the "garbage" scanned beside the original text, so I need to wait 
for it to happen again.


As far as it being reproducible. It's not even consistent printing the 
same email. Sometimes it will print fine and sometimes it won't,

You can upgrade to 2.0.5 without deinstalling 2.0.4 and should not 
encounter any problems.


But to be on the safe side with any software update, you should always 
backup any previous files. For this, give MozBackup a try...

about it.  I've watched the memory as I close each window full of
tabs.  (I use SpeedItUpFree memory manager to watch the memory.)  Each
closed window adds a little to the available memory until it reaches
25% or so.  Upon closing the last window the memory shoots all the way
up to 70% or 80%, so it looks like it's the core Seamonkey module that
is to blame, not individual windows or tabs.

I also have used the memory management feature of SpeedItUpFree and
recovered some memory, but it doesn't work as well as simply closing
Seamonkey down now and running it again.  There are, of course, times
when Seamonkey 2 freaks out and then I reboot my system.  It's an
imperfect situation, but I'm glad there is a relatively simple way to
get things running smoothly again until the next meltdown.


My subjective impression -- based on no actual measurements -- is that 
SeaMonkey runs fine until it fills up its cache, then it slows down 
quite a bit until I clear the cache. It doesn't seem to be very 
efficient at pushing the oldest data out of the cache to make room for 
newer data.


For this reason, I set a large cache size (512 MB at the moment, half my 
physical memory).


YMMV

Here's the thing. I use Flashblock extension. I don't show Flash until I

If you like, send some URLs for me to test them.


http://neatorama.com. Open like 30 tabs?



I do use the latest versions of Flashblock, Adblock Plus, etc.


Maybe Flashblock has missed that given flash. Since you have Adblock,
open the list of blockable elements, sort by type and look for "object"
elements.


I will check again later when I am on it.

2010-07-07 Thread Ant

Do you open 21 windows instead? Do 21 windows take less memory?


I don't know, but I don't like having multiple windows.



What about CPU usage even when idled? :(


Pages with scripts constantly running (e.g. Yahoo mail) and especially
Flash loaded pages could take quite some CPU, even in background.


Ah, maybe that's why. :(

cache query

2010-07-07 Thread Rick Merrill

Is the same cache used for SM2 mail (e.g. with pictures) as for the SM2 browser?

Spell Check and Display

2010-07-07 Thread nr
I just sent a note and the spell checker found words it didn't
understand (SM 2.05).  No problem with that, but the questioned word
did not show in the composition box (where I could have seen its
context).  I couldn't move the contents of the composition box to see
what it was questioning.  I thought that in the past the questioned
word would be underlined and/or bold and be viewable in the
composition box as the spell check was working.  I didn't see any
place in the Preferences that would cause this change.

Is this a new 'feature' of version 2?  Any thoughts welcome.  Thanks
for your comments.

Here are the details fo my memory problems.


As already mentionned by Ant, RAM is not CPU. Of course, if you open 
multiple pages, they're all somehow stored in memory. But once loaded they 
shouldn't "consume" CPU anymore.



I'm using Seamonkey ver.
2.0.4.  As I open and close tabs, or basically just use my browser the
available memory gradually decreases until it's down to 10% or less.
At this point my system becomes so slow that I have to do something
about it.  I've watched the memory as I close each window full of
tabs.  (I use SpeedItUpFree memory manager to watch the memory.)  Each
closed window adds a little to the available memory until it reaches
25% or so.  Upon closing the last window the memory shoots all the way
up to 70% or 80%, so it looks like it's the core Seamonkey module that
is to blame, not individual windows or tabs.


Looks like a cache matter to me, but I'm no expert: maybe previously 
loaded pages remain in memory cache until you quit. Have a look at 
about:cache?device=memory to check.
