It works very well where you may have several mail accounts.

Thanks, I will give it a try. Right now it is giving me a download 
error. Perhaps it will work later.

You might try MozBackup to extract and then compress your profile on 
your flash drive.  I don't know anyone who has successfully used 
MozBackup to restore their profiles, but it sounds real good.  I have it 
installed and saved several profiles, but have not had the need to 
restore my profiles.

Sorry I forgot to say I'm using WinXP2, and that's where my files are.

Can't answer this in any detail, but if your flash drive is formatted
for FAT32, it will have a 4 GB file size limit, in case any of your SM
files are that "fat." ;-)

There may be other considerations, keep reading for other responses.
   


I knew about the file size limitations, and that's another reason I 
thought I must not be looking at my current files, because they don't 
seem very big, for all the junk I have saved in SM.  :)


Thanks for your help, Paul.  Still hoping someone will jump in about the 
USB flash drives being used for backup.  Good idea or bad?  :)

Re: How to handle emails with different character encoding

Of course. With something like the following example in the

Yes, but that's under the webmaster's control. flyguy was asking how he 
as a visitor could tell SM that every time it visited a certain page or 
domain, it should ignore the webmaster's spec and use a particular encoding.

Yes and no.

Most emails sent to you have info in the (hidden) header that tells the
receiving program (in our case, SeaMonkey) what encoding to use. For
example, your post said:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Sometimes (especially with webmails), this information is absent, so
SeaMonkey will fall back on whatever default you have set. If you look
at your prefs under Mail & Newsgroups | Character Encoding, the first
setting is your default for message display. If most of your
correspondence is in Western, this is a good choice.

And sometimes the sending program lies to SeaMonkey and specifies an
encoding different from the one used to compose the message.

In cases where the info is absent or the sending program lies, you have
to manually select the correct encoding. Sorry. But when the incoming
message is well-formed (contains accurate info on encoding), SeaMonkey
does automatically select the correct encoding.

The situation with websites is similar. If they tell the truth,
SeaMonkey is fine. If they are silent or misleading, SeaMonkey can guess
wrong or be deceived.


Hmmm, I think the webmail might explain most of them. I'll look into
that. Is there any way to flag a person in my address book with the
encoding that should be used when receiving email from them?


Not any way I can think of.

I have Vista and Seamonkey 2.0.11. My wife has the
same software on her pc.

When I try to read the Madrid attractions section (a
PDF file) at http://www.maribelsguides.com/ it loads
only about half of the file, then stops.

My wife's computer loads the whole file using
Seamonkey, and my computer loads the whole file using
IE.

This makes me think the problem is not with adobe,
but with the configuration of either Vista or
Seamonkey on my computer, but I have been all through
the preferences section and can find nothing that to
me sets a limit on the size of files I can open.

Any suggestions on where I should look? I already
tried swapping computers with my wife, but she caught
me.


I see a problem with the hotel guide at
. After
downloading about half the PDF file, further
downloading occurs only as I scroll down in the file.
The complete file downloaded only when I tried to view
the last page.

I saw a similar problem with a dial-up connection at
Vanguard mutual funds. I wanted a form for converting
part of an IRA to a Roth IRA. The PDF file was less
than 500 KB but would stop at slightly over 200 KB.
Nothing I did would result in the remaining file
downloading. What was especially frustrating was that
the form was only 8 pages out of 36 in the file -- 8
pages near the beginning of the file -- but the
partially downloaded file could not be opened; the
entire file had to download before I could open it.
With a broadband connection, the problem went away.

I suspect this is a server problem. The server might
time-out without having sent all packets.



Had no problem loading the Link (use PDF Browser Plugin
by Schubert) Do have a 1mb synchronous DSL Line.


I have cable. It downloads completely using IE on my
computer, or Seamonkey on my wife's, but with Seamonkey on
mine it consistently stops after downloading 818.51 KB of
1.57 MB.


Is the PDF file opening with the same method between your
wife's pc and yours ? I think about this: On one pc the pdf
file is opened inside the SM screen. On the other pc, the pdf
file is opened inside Acrobat Reader started by SM. The way
of managing a pdf like this 2 possibilities is an option
inside Acrobat Reader.


I make SM to open pdf outside by acrobat and no problem


Did you say that now your problem is solved ?


no, that was not me. I suppose pdf take the same amount of cache
regardless they are viewed in a window of SM or not


I cleared the cache (under preferences, advanced, cache) and barred
that site from setting cookies, but the problem remains.

On my wife's computer, which works, the site opens as if it was
another copy of seamonkey showing the pdf. I.e., at the top of the
screen is a tab for seamonkey, and a tab for the pdf.

On my computer, the pdf opens as if I had gone to another site. I.e.,
  the pdf is the only open screen and to get back to seamonkey I just
use the back key.


Can you compare the settings for Edit->Preferences->Browser->Tabbed
Browsing.

Are your settings for Link Behavior the same as your wife's??

Daniel


As reported yesterday by the original poster in this thread, the problem
was a setting in Adobe Reader, not in SeaMonkey.



Thanks for that, David. I read of the OP solving this problem *AFTER* I 
posted my last.

- can an encoding be specified for a website or domain?


I know of no way, but perhaps the experts do.

If you have a relationship to the organization that owns the website, 
you might politely suggest to the webmaster that they shape up.


A reasonable workaround might be to specify Unicode as your default 
encoding. Then a Western message will be fine (since it's a subset of 
Unicode), and so will a Unicode message. If you don't work with foreign 
languages (русский язык, 한국말, etc.), that should do.


Of course, cases where the sending program lies will still have to be 
fixed manually.
