This is bad advice, in my opinion.

SM shares 95% of the code with FF and TB.

SM 2.46 is based on FF 2.49 which has been unsupported
for several months.

Updated versions may have unknown issues, but at least
the glaring security issues have been fixed.

I don't have an answer for your problem but you may want to reconsider the 
"load all images" (email presumably) because you will subject yourself to 
tracking by the webbugs that spammers use.

"[√] Block images and other content from remote sources"
is by far the safest option.

I think it is this one:

You should be more specific whether you're using "Blogs & News Feed", or 
"Live Bookmarks" (or else) for this feed.  As far as I see date order in 
the former is just right, if you sort by date.  The later seems to list 
entries in the order returned from the server, and I'm currently seeing:

These being listed in exact given order in the live bookmark.

As to why this server returns a last year entry in the middle of 
"nowhere", I don't know.

Seeing Photos in eMail Challenge - SM 2.46 on W10 Pro Desktop

[bo1953]

Hello all,

My challenge is that I cannot view/see photo's inline at all despite the 
fact that I have 'Load All Images' checked in the security settings.


Any ideas or suggestions as to what else I can do in order to view 
photos/pictures inline? Maybe something else I have setup and do not 
realize.


TIA - bo1953

That would be a version still in development and thus likely has several
bugs not yet fixed or even known.  To avoid such bugs, use the latest
official release for end-users: 2.46.

No, 2.46 is not bug-free.  However, most of its bugs are known and
reported at .

This doesn't look like a "year 2000" bug. That's more a result of the 
ambiguity of years represented by just two digits so, for example, it's 
not certain whether 24/10/66 refers to 1966 or 2066.

The article in question doesn't seem to be currently included in that 
feed (presumably its an entry you downloaded previously) so I can't tell 
for certain, but my suspicion would be that the wrong date was included 
in the RRS data. Perhaps 30/11/02 (presumably 2002, not 1902!) is the 
date the article was digitised or uploaded to their website, whereas 
24/10/1966 looks like the original print publication date.

Which SeaMonkey version?
2.50+ and TB53+ suffer from limitations due to Mozilla locale api changes. 
They are slowly fixed.
