Read the section in the user guide entitled "Thunderbird must be running for scheduled messages to be sent: http://blog.kamens.us/send-later/#running It talks about why this limitation exists and how to work around it. (Yes, this section applies to SeaMonkey as well.) >Note: This is not an add-on, it's an integral part of the SM program. >You can't remove it or update it separately, and there's no separate >version info. Indeed. But the OP asked about the add-on, so I'm not really sure how your answer is particularly relevant. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/send-later-3/ I do my best to follow this newsgroup and respond to questions here about the add-on, but most of the traffic here isn't related to this add-on, obviously, so you're better off sending me email (my address is posted in the user guide as well as on the AMO page for the add-on) or writing to the send-later-users mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/send-later-users Regards, Jonathan Kamens ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
New "Enhanced Priority Display" add-on
For your information, my new Thunderbird / Seamonkey add-on, "Enhanced Priority Display", has just been fully approved on addons.mozilla.org. This add-on allows you to do any or all of the following: * Replace the words in the "Priority" column with icons. * Mark high-priority messages with italics and a larger font. * Fade low-priority messages. * Mark high-priority messages with a red, striped background. * Mark low-priority messages wotj a blue, striped background. You can also supply your own icons for the Priority column if you don't like the ones that are included. You can search for and download the add-on within Thunderbird or Seamoney, or get it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/enhanced-priority-display/ Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Enjoy! Jonathan Kamens ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks to bogofilter and Spamhaus, I see well under 1% of the spam which people attempt to put into my mailbox, so I don't really care whether spammers abuse the Priority field. I don't find that non-spammers abuse it all that much. I don't think most people "mark *all* messages 'high priority'," although I agree that those who do are rude. In short, I find it useful to be able to see the priorities my correspondents have marked messages with, so I find the add-on useful. Your mileage may vary, of course. This is a feature that many people have asked for over the years here, on MozillaZine, and on GetSatisfaction.com, so it's clearly something that some people want. >Jonathan, if you manage to figure out an easy way to CHANGE the priority >flag of a RECEIVED message, that would be FANTASTICALLY USEFUL!

I've read this paragraph several times, and I'm still not sure I understand what you're asking. Your question may make sense to you, but the way you've formulated it here seems rather convoluted. I *think* you're asking why some email clients show, as the date of an email message, the date at which it arrived in your mailbox, whereas other email clients show the date at which the sender claims to have sent it, which can in some cases differ significantly from the date when it arrived in your mailbox. Is that right? If not, then please try to explain better what you're asking, because I don't get it, and I doubt anyone else will either. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It doesn't work properly for IMAP mailboxes. You have to install this add-on (or tweak your preferences directly in the advanced configuration editor) to make it work for IMAP: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/imap-received-date/ (Yes, it works with SeaMonkey, despite the "thunderbird" in the URL.) Also, even with this add-on, if you group your thread pane by thread, the threads will sort by Date header even if you tell them to sort by Received header. There's an open bug in bugzilla about that, though your guess is as good as mine about when it will be fixed. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Either it will be the date and time finished composing and sent >later OR at the sent date and time. Ah. OK, so here's the story... SeaMonkey (and Thunderbird) fill in the Date header on a message when you do the File > Send Later command. According to the RFCs, the Date header is supposed to indicate the date-time at which the user indicated that the message was ready to be transported, not the date-time at which the message actually _is_ transported, so SeaMonkey's behavior is (in my opinion, and clearly also in the opinion of its developers ;-) correct. At the recipient's end, the mail user agent can choose to display either the date-time in the Date header, or the date-time when the message was received. Most of the time, they are within seconds of each other, so it doesn't really matter which one you look at, but there are three exceptions: 1. A message is delayed en route for one of any number of reasons. 2. A message is delayed because the user didn't send it right away, e.g., because he was offline when writing it and didn't send it until going online later. 3. A message has the wrong date in the Date header, either because the sender's clock is set improperly on his computer, or because the sender has inserted an incorrect Date header on purpose (a frequent occurrence with spam). Some software displays Date by default but allows the receive date-time to be displayed instead or in addition; some software displays the receve date-time by defeault but allows the Date to be displayed instead or in addition; and some software displays only one and doesn't allow the other. The risk of displaying Date instead of Received is if you sort your inbox by Date and somebody sends you a message with an incorrect, old Date value, it may get buried earlier in your inbox and you might miss it. Aside from that, for the vast majority of users it doesn't make much of a difference which one is displayed. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
