Bookmark Tags
Over the years I have saved gobs of bookmarks that are now collected in 18 major bookmark folders, each with subfolders. I remember where most bookmarks are located but frequently I can't recall in which folder. And sometimes I don't remember a bookmark but know that it is saved in a folder next to a bookmark I do remember. The bookmark manager search is fine for finding a bookmark but it does not identify in which folder it is located. Search will show the tag so by assigning a tag for each folder, and including the tag with each bookmark, I get the folder ID. Great. But I have been editing each bookmark individually to show the tag and that is a lot of fiddle - I wanted some simple way to group edit all tags for the bookmarks in a folder - or something like that. I thought of posting a request in here asking for a fast way to edit bookmark-tags. But I decided to be a good boy and first go to Help. Did that. Did not get a direct answer, but it gave me enough ideas of things to try. Success. There are bound to be better ways but I'm happy.

You have to first create a draft email then save it as a template.
The rest you can figure out.
It seems to work good. Thanks for letting us know about it.
Does it actually send the message? If so, to whom? Or does it just pop
up a composition window for the user to complete?
I've been using templates for years, but never thought to use one with a
filter.
It sends what ever is in the template to who or what you
have designated in the filter.
I have mine set to send me a smiley face when
ever anyone sends mail to my real att.net address.
I don't see a way to make it auto reply to an unknown addy though.
Um... sending myself a smiley face was not such a good idea
since the incoming and outgoing addresses are the same,
it keeps receiving and sending over and over.
Bad, bad filter!
Rather than bad, I wonder if it is just incomplete. The Template part is
easy, the unknown is the Reply part.
Has anyone looked into that? How long ago did it first appear in message
filtering?

You could edit your profile, but that is not an easy task, you can install an extension for SeaMonkey where you can custom set your accounts with a few clicks.

Then, in the Search bar, enter the term mail.accountmanager.accounts. Then change the order of the accounts. Note:- The e-mail accounts are displayed first, then the Local Folders account, and then the News Server accounts. If you are uncomfortable altering the configuration file directly, you could make use of a user.js file, which is a plain text file (not a Word file) in the same directory as your prefs.js file and, in that file, put mail.accountmanager.accounts,then_the_account-order without any breaks. When you next re-start SeaMonkey, this User.js file should be written into the prefs.js file. HTH Thanks, guys, I got the reorg I wanted.

I'll admit that my personal system using Seamonkey is cumbersome (POP

can read and respond to emails comfortably while traveling without
duplicating their storage), but I sure haven't figured out any other
system that would work for me! Yes, I'm one of those people who would
pay for continuing minor improvements to Seamonkey.
I'm also a SeaMonkey fan. Browsers in SM and FireFox are similar to me but
Mail and Address Books in SM are much better than Thunderbird.
Biggest SeaMonkey things for me are: having nice lists/subgroups within
address books and, using the excellent full column layout when selecting
multiple addresses from my address books for an email message.
Some day I may start saving messages in SeaMonkey. As it is, I'm still
saving messages as text files and storing those (the scheme I started in the
BBS days).
One concern: will SM be affected by switching to IPv6.{grin}

He brings up the compose window and the address book, sets the first recipient field to Bcc: and drags the first entry from the address book to this field. As he continues to drag entries to subsequent recipient fields, all follow the first in pattern (i.e., Bcc: ) until there is room for only one more entry above the divider bar. As he drags an entry into this recipient field, the whole thing scrolls up one line, and a new recipient field is added. This one defaults to To: . Why ? Hmmm, yes, I see what you mean. Seems an inconsistent behavior. I don't know if there's a bug open for that... Furthermore, if you drop an address in that last entry before the divider line, SM does *not* create a new empty address line -- you have to change focus to the compose window and press enter. In the meantime, particularly for large lists of recipients, you might want to try using the select addresses dialog instead of dragging dropping. Second button on the toolbar, or first option on the menu tools in the compose window. Oh boy, if not using Select Addresses, a user is missing a major advantage of SeaMonkey Mail over Thunderbird. The Select Addresses screen includes on the right, a list of all recipient addresses - a list that is invaluable for managing multiple addresses for emails. The list collects and shows all addresses a user selects from a variety of address books and when the list is all fine, one click on OK transfers them to the subject email's address area. Seeing all address in one list enables visual checking and editing, plus the list can be long, I frequently show 30 addresses at a time.

The problem with solving it is that anyone who encounters the issue, no longer has their profile in the state that caused the issue to begin with. And I have yet to hear from someone who has an (old) copy of their profile and can reproduce this reliably with said old(er) copy and the new SeaMonkey. So yes, we want this fixed, but don't even know where to begin at this time. I may be able to help. Before i read this thread, I posted my situation under a new thread/subject Missing Bookmarks.

My 2.1 Upgrade
Upgrading from 2.0.14 to 2.1 did not include all of my bookmarks - some groups were missing and most looked like a month ago. I now have the current list - I imported bookmark.html from last week's system backup and then deleted all the ones from the upgrade action. I like the search capability in Bookmark Mana - I just wish it included the group under which I had saved the bookmark. I have over a dozen groups, each with subgroups, and I would like to know where to go to update the bookmark's information (and remove dupes). 2.1 is no better than 2.0.14 at spoofing my local grocery store's website - still need to use IE or FFox.

Eudora SeaMonkey
NOTE: I am posting this message in both the SeaMonkey and Eudora newsgroups in the hope that some cognizant persons forward this on to appropriate people involved with each program's development. + + + + + + The new EudoraOSE v1 is based upon Thunderbird - it adds some Eudora capabilities to TBird. I am a regular user of SeaMonkey and am very happy with how SM handles email addressing - click on the Address icon when in the email editing window, find select address books, copy selected addresses into an address window, edit that window's contents, and then post that window's contents onto the email message. (See http://tinyurl.com/22qhr6n) (Note that this message address window can be invaluable for investigating addresses on incoming messages. Just select Reply All and all such addresses appear in the window as an uncluttered list - over a couple dozen addresses can be displayed for easy visual perusal.) To me, Thunderbird's handling of email addressing is neither as intuitive nor versatile, particularly for multiple addresses and when involving multiple address books. I'm not very experienced with TBird's email addressing steps so they may be very good for messages to a small number of addresses and/or from one address book. However, believing that Eudora users are normally heavier email users, I recommend that the Eudora developers consider converting to the SeaMonkey handling of email addressing. Conversely, would it be practical to add some Eudora unique features to SeaMonkey? The only one I am concerned about is the ability to forward a message without replacing the FROM: address. One of my clients needs this when monitoring messages before posting in one list and forwarding to another list - they don't want to lose the original senders ID. Note that these recommendations are from a old techno-nerd type.

Bit by bit I'm starting to use 2.1's new Bookmark features - as expected, Tabs are handy. However, I have yet to figure out Tags - what are they for and how do people use them? Is there a description somewhere? -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Let's say you have a number of bookmarks in different folders like this: Mozilla SeaMonkey Mozilla Firefox Mozilla Thunderbird Mozilla Downloads Mozilla Extensions You could assign the tag Mozilla to all those bookmarks. Let's say you a folder HTML CSS in which there are a number of bookmarks to articles on Mozilla products. Add the Mozilla tag to them. Now when you open the bookmarks manager you can enter Mozilla in the search box and the list panel will be filtered to those bookmarks. Further, you can save the search and it will appear in the left panel where you can just click it instead of entering the tag(s) in the search box. Probably other things to do but that's what I know. Thank you - you caused me to think of a couple cases where it could come in handy. I'll hafta try one! -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Uncollapse that when you want to see properties. The info is all there, but if you hide it, you won't see it. Robert Kaiser Between the screen shots and your no-collapse comment, I have now reloaded 2.1 and can see how to edit bookmarks. I also get to play with the new Tags - I think I know how I'll use them. -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM 2.1 Bookmark Properties
I installed SM 2.1 and all seemed well till I saved a new bookmark and then wanted to edit it for placement among my other bookmarks. Lo and behold, I was not able to edit the bookmark - the right click menu did not include Properties, the place where for years, I have edited bookmarks. Is the lack of editing capability intentional? Why was the Properties capability dropped? Or is there some other way in 2.1 that I can change and add bookmark data? Major problem - I deleted 2.1 and am now back with 2.0.10. -- JohnW-Mpls ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

With a recent SM 2.1 nightly, I have Properties in the context menu of a bookmark on the Personal Toolbar. If you don't, please post the exact version, where you clicked, and optimally a link to a screen shot. If however you are speaking about the Bookmark Manager itself, then just look at the bottom of the window. You might have collapsed the editing area using the grippy in the middle of the separator.
