Thanks Daniel.

I used the converter on both add-ons and Seamonkey still reports them as being 
incompatible. So...

I checked this forum first and installed the 64-bit version 2.49.1 .deb file on 
Linux KDE Neon 5.12. I am also running 64-bit Thunderbird ver 52.6.0 and I 
found an extension for it that is called "ThunderHTMLedit" which is not 
compatible with SM. I also found an extension called "Stationary" which doesn't 
work with SM either. These extensions are very helpful to get the features we 
need.

I want to like SM but TB has the same themes and some extensions I like. You 
have recommended using other HTML editors. What is there to recommend SM over 
TBird?

Hey all, thanks for the replies.

I didn't realize that SM Composer was so long-in-the-tooth! It seems pretty 
good to me, but I am an ancient geek (I was a geek before it became 
fashionable!)

I think (maybe) the problem is that since I am using Gmail that it doesn't 
support backgrounds and strips them out. One anomaly however - I went back to 
Thunderbird and found it used the same Templates folder and the three templates 
I test-created showed up there - in both TB and SM Mail! And, if I create a 
complex email template with fancy background in TB, the full template is 
available to SM Mail! So, I'm thinking that SM Mail strips out the 
backgrounds. If I can leave a link you can look at my screenshot here.

Composer Integration into Mail

2018-02-06 Thread Ken Jarstad
I am valiantly trying to find a replacement for my wife's favorite email 
program called Incredimail. Incredimail is (or was) a delightfully integrated 
HTML email program that provided rich background templates and animated 
emoticons, all in a unified interface. Alas, the program was sold and the new 
owners are not supporting it well - and it has some obvious problems. I am also 
wanting to get her onto the Linux platform and this Windows only program is the 
last holdout.

I have been experimenting with Thunderbird, thought it looked promising, and 
then thought SeaMonkey might be even better since an HTML composer is included 
- and ought to be integrated. And finally to my question: 

Although SM Composer is built-in there seems no easy way to simply import a new 
web page into SM Mail and save it as a template. When I create a new web page 
with SM Composer with fancy backgrounds and so on I have to copy the HTML 
source and use Insert/HTML and paste it into the Mail/Compose dialog box. That 
isn't so bad - and I think my wife could learn to do that - but then, inserting 
the HTML - I find that the Compose message box has been stripped of any 
background elements. And further, examining the HTML code in the Compose 
message reveals that SM has taken considerable liberty to re-arrange the code! 
What's up with that?
