However, the content type is set to Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed ^ which makes the reader(!) display it with stitching the lines back together. The last message from nr does not have this tag, and shows accordingly. It's the same with my postings, I just checked. I have not found the setting to change this - however, there is a about:config entry, which smells like this: mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed which does the trick (confirmed with the local copies of drafts of this posting). true (flow is on) is the default value.

These are stored globally, per field name, rather than per site. That's why they are available under the asterisk pseudo-domain. The Permissions tab is mostly there because you need a way to define new permissions (the the bottom of that tab when it's active) even if you haven't stored any other data for a specific domain. 2. When I look at cookies from some domain that I have never heard of, I presume this is someplace that I must have been. Can I remove these cookies safely? It's your data. You can remove whatever you want, but some sites might stop working properly when their cookies are gone. BTW: Domains you never heard of are probably from partner websites, ad hosters etc. 3. I clicked on lowes.com ( site I go to now and then). It shows three variations: www7.lowes.com, www.lowes.com, and lowes.com. Permissions is active. Why do I get three variations? Because they are not necessarily the same. Often they are, but not always. Each domain may host and deliver completely different websites. What is www7 about? Probably part of a CDN (Content Delivery Network) or similar, i.e. to distribute users/requests over different subservers for load balancing purposes or performance improvements. My choices for each of these three entries are: Use Default, Allow, Allow for Session, and Block. What is Default? The default you set for that kind of permissions. See Preferences. 4. In general, how do I determine what these domains are? Totally depends on your browsing habits, i.e. up to you. Tendency on unknown ones is to remove them and block them forever. That is completely up to you (i.e. your character, liking, level of mistrust etc.). 5. What is the difference between Cookies and Permissions? I would have thought that's pretty self-explanatory. Cookies are bits of information stored on your computer. Permissions include (but are not limited to) cookies permissions, i.e. settings that allow or deny storing cookies for certain domains.

Permissions: Settings per domain, like whether storing cookies, loading images, saving passwords, opening pop-up windows etc. should be allowed or denied.

Re: How can i see the buttons Etape précédente and Etape suivante in a tutorial site
I have been told during an irc session on #informatique or #programmation (i did not remember) on the epiknet server that the problem did not exhibit when using the Chrome browser. You are correct, Closing that google bar (via the [x] at the far right) temporarily fixes it anyway. (as said by Justin Wood (Callek)) In addition, what i can say is that with SM i had closed this google bar, and the problem dissapeared... but now when i go on this site with SM ... the google bar did not show anymore ... strange ... I had tested the same page: http://google-maps-api-version-3.touraineverte.com/fr/ajouter-un-marqueur-sur-une-carte-avec-api-google-maps-version-3.html with IE9 - and the problem is exactly the same i encountered with SM. But i cannot complain against IE9 ... because microsoft doesnot care about customers :-) So i report this problem at SM support. The screen result was exactly the same with IE9 and SM 2.1 Here is a screen-shot of IE9 http://i.imgur.com/f9ryq.jpg I cannot show you an SM screenshot because SM did not show the google bar anymore.

The description of the problem in your original post was incomplete, in my opinion, but then I've already verified I observe the same rendering with other major browsers like IE, Opera, Safari, and Firefox. The problem seems caused by bad Web authoring and is easily solved by closing the Google Translate bar at the top of the page, by clicking the [X] in the far right of the bar. Regarding whether there appears to be a SeaMonkey specific problem - did you try it with any other browser to see if it is just SeaMonkey rendering it differently? Appears you're on Windows 7, so you're very likely having Internet Explorer to try with, in addition to SeaMonkey. Please post back with your results of trying with another browser, and possibly post a screenshot (the easiest way would be through an image sharing service like http://imgur.com/), if further needed.

Re: Seamonkey2 - themes issues
My bloviated meandering follows what Bret Busby graced us with on 7/3/2011 9:22 PM: My unbuntu 8.04 on my old(ish) laptop computer has just upgraded the Seamonkey to version 2. It has changed the appearance of Seamonkey, to some silly looking theme, that is listed as the default theme. It appears that software developers design software for their own pleasure, and not for the users. The Classic theme will not install. The Littlemonkey theme has some silly looking phallic symbols to the left of the toolbars. Is is possible to get a traditional looking theme for Seamonkey 2.x, so that we can have a decent appearance for Seamonkey, like the themes from Seamonkey 1 or Netscape? I've just ported both the SM1.x Modern Mozillium theme to SM2.2+. It is are available on my server, https://www.projectit.com/ . Additionally, I still plan to port the other SeaMonkey themes like (Race Day and Venerable Modern) as time permits. Fell free to comment back here with any problems or suggestions.
