Not viable.  It is hosted on the Mozilla servers and is presumably going

The "Search Messages" tool is powerful and convenient.
It can *display* (on screen) attributes of those messages.
It apparently *CAN NOT* save a text file of those displayed attributes.

For my current project, I need a two column list of "Subject" and "Date"

Dealing with UserAgent strings for first time

2020-11-08 Thread Richard Owlett

I date from the days of Netscape Navigator and am currently using
SeaMonkey 2.49.4 on Debian 10. I've never had need of a site that 
demanded a specific browser.


I'm investigating speech recognition software [particularly Mozilla's 
DeepSpeech {https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech}]


I wish to access two related sites accepting Firefox.
https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/
and
https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#machinelearning:mozilla.org

Neither works at all with my SeaMonkey install but do apparently work 
with the ESR version of Firefox 60 in the Debian repository.


1. What should I be reading on UserAgent strings in order to ask 
intelligent questions.

2. Are those sites readable by SeaMonkey with suitable UA string?
[I wish to avoid Firefox as I find its user interface annoying without 
offering anything of interest that is not part of SeaMonkey.]

Bill's description of a dual pane view of "Bookmark Manager" prompted 
some experimentation.


Choosing Bookmarks->File Bookmark then under "Folder:" and then clicking 
"Choose" displays a tree-view of folder titles.


Performing Cntrl-A Cntrl-C followed by pasting into a text editor yields 
a not-quite un-formatted list of folder titles.


I say "not-quite un-formatted list" because there is a blank line where 
there would have been one or more bookmarks.


I'll experiment to see if I can create a tree view of the folder structure.

Later.

I'm up to 12,000 bookmarks these days, and have never had a problem 
moving large folders of bookmarks around using Bookmark Manager.


I have maybe 15 first-level folders, with lots of subfolders within 
each. With that kind of organization, I can easily see the big-picture 
folder structure, and still have plenty of room on the screen to drill 
down within a couple of first-level folders at the same time while 
reorganizing the subfolders and individual bookmarks.


Ohhh you WELL organized soul. That is my goal.

What I have is an ad hoc collection of POORLY organized bookmarks. Some 
in logically nested collections. Many just scattered loose. Some may 
date back to Netscape days.


As you observed, once there is a logically organized set of folders 
there is no problem moving folders or sub-folders to a new location in 
the tree. That's what prompted my post ;/


As an interim solution, is there a way of printing/displaying only 
folder titles while displaying their logical tree structure?


Thank you.

I think I understand using "M" to toggle read/unread.



This works from within the thread pane (e.g. if filtered using the 
search bar), in which case the menus can also be used, and also from the 
advanced search dialog, although the menus aren't available there so you 
need to know the relevant keyboard shortcuts.  You can use the menus 
from the main window to work out what the shortcuts are, e.g. Message > 
Tag to see which number corresponds to which tag.  I'm not sure whether 
you get shortcuts for tags beyond the first 9, so you might need to 
order them so that your frequently used tags come within the first 9 to 
ensure there are shortcuts for them.

You change it by selecting the account under the Domain in the

Click the "Remove" button.
Close and restart SeaMonkey.
Attempt to get email for that account.

I tested this with my Verizon email account and it only asked for my 
password because the Username is still in the account settings.

Have you tried setting up the account in a test profile?

It could be that the port, connection security or authentication method 
need to be updated in SeaMonkey's account settings (Edit > Mail & 
Newsgroups Account Settings > [Account Name] > Server Settings).


Although you may not have changed anything in SeaMonkey, mail providers 
sometimes change what they require.  It might not be a recently 
announced change either, if they brought in new settings some time ago, 
but still supported the old method until recently.  Most providers give 
the details needed somewhere on their support pages.


Also, as others have mentioned, check that the username is definitely in 
the right format - depending on the provider, sometimes it needs to be 
the whole email address, sometimes only the part before the "@" (I even 
once had an account which needed the whole address but with "@" replaced 
with "#"!)  Again, providers sometimes change what they expect, so worth 
checking even if it's previously been working.




I was thinking along those lines. I'm setting up another physical 
machine for doing a test install of SeaMonkey after asking my provider 
for their preferences.

Since the last time I used the account [less than 1 hour earlier 
today], *nothing* has changed on my end.


My connection sees the other end as a Pop Server using Port 110.
and the password being sent insecurely.




110?  Did your Mail provider tell you that the value had changed?
Mine are all Connection Security = SSL/TLS  which maps to Port 995.



I've been on Port 110 for years (decades even ;)

reported error message.
Immediately before telephoning my provider, I had checked email on a

account. After I hung up, the secondary account gives the identical 
error message.

Pop3 on port 110 is the older of the two popular protocols used to 
retrieve eMail from remote mail servers. (The newer protocol, imap, 
the Internet message access protocol, uses port 143.)


Many ISP are changing to imap.


When I contacted them by phone I mentioned that I was served by their 
POP server. They are a local company and I've been a customer for

I think the way to go is to try and retrieve your emails using the old 
password.

It will fail, and ask you for the new password.
I think it should then ask you if you want to replace the old with the 
new (in Seamonkey).


You can't do it directly in the Password Manager.



That is what I expected to happen.
It *DID NOT*
When I select the account name and then click "Get Msgs" the response is:

Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server ** responded:
Invalid format for plain response.


Since the last time I used the account [less than 1 hour earlier today], 
*nothing* has changed on my end.


My connection sees the other end as a Pop Server using Port 110.
and the password being sent insecurely.

Isn't that the way it currently works in SeaMonkey??

1    Navigate into your message filters screen (Tools->Message Filters)

3.    Give the Filter a name.
4.    select what you want that filter to do.

from my applying the filters to News Groups on the News Servers, 
maybe these filters don't work on Mail Lists!!




ROFL &/or GROAN
I have ~40 filters defined. SeaMonkey allows you to look at only one 
at a time and they are listed in priority order.


I want to put all that information in a single text file.





Those are already in a file called msgFilterRules.dat that can be opened 
in a text editor.


Each account in the profile will have that file.

If you have more than one msgFilterRules.dat file per account. You could 
probably open one at a time and copy the information into a new text file.


I'm not sure how that works. All my filters are created from the account 
level so I can see them all in order in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird.




*THANK YOU!*
I have one file with 38 rules. The file is arranged such that it should

Choosing to read only the plain text will not change the size of the email 
or the memory usage of the window. If the email contains an "HTML half" it

Only if it is just to be printed. You won't be able to re-import the file 
into the browser as Word will add so much word-processing code to the file

Strange SeaMonkey mail/newsgroup symptom - failure to connect

2020-01-31 Thread Richard Owlett

I'm running:
  Debian 9.8 with MATE desktop
  SeaMonkey 2.49.4, Build identifier: 20180711182954
I connect via T-Mobile WiFi Hotspot
  {WiFi disabled, i.e. I treat it as USB connected modem }

Starting from cold boot, I occasionally (but frequent enough to prompt 
question) have to connect to a website {arbitrary valid URL} before I 
can connect to my e-mail provider.


I believe the same is true regarding my two newsgroup providers:
  news.mozilla.org
  news.supernews.com
{IOW I rarely attempt to connect to newsgroup before checking mail}


Do I have a "real" problem?
  or is "Murphy" just laughing at me?

I see the same. I had been investigating a vendor provided script and 
had been opening a series of man pages in multiple tabs.


  Just 
clicking the link (to open in the same tab) or opening in a new window 
works.  Opening in a new tab (either via context menu, Ctrl+click or 
middle-click) behaves as you describe.  Attempting to reload the page 
doesn't help, but clicking in the address bar and pressing "Enter" does 
load the page.


That was part of what prompted me to post.



Having opened in a new tab, attempting to view the page source has 
"Source of: wyciwyg://14/https://manpages.debian.org/...; in the title 
bar - truncation is mine, but the "wyciwyg://14/" looks odd.


I see similar. In a test just now, instead of '14' I see '48' or '49' 
depending on link clicked. I'll investigate further.




Viewing source of a successfully loaded page shows "Source of: 
https://manpages.debian.org/...; as would be expected.



Is this a:
  1. site problem?
  2. SeaMonkey failure?
  3. an unidentified local problem?

Not sure.  The presence of "wyciwyg" in the page source when it's 
failing to load looks like it could be some interaction between caching 
and something JavaScript is doing on those pages.


I'm using SeaMonkey 2.49.5 on Linux Mint.

Try 85%?

My experience when this situation occurs is because the web author (and

I've not had *ANY* contact with any database system for DECADES {i.e.

Re: How to copy a mailing list

2019-09-30 Thread Richard Owlett

On 09/30/2019 10:23 AM, Ray_Net wrote:

Hello,
I created a mailing list to send mail to all the people in this list.
I used this list to invite everyone to an activity. So far so good.
Some people told me that they could not participate in this activity. 
Therefore the following e-mail should cover all persons except those who 
have withdrawn.
I would like to copy the existing list with a different name and then in 
this list remove the people who will be absent. (I want to keep the 
original list to possibly make other invitations).

So the question is: In the address-book how to copy a mailing-list ?


SHORT answer:  "I don't know."

Longer answer:
  1. Ask a related question:
 "How/where does SeaMonkey store 'mailing lists'?"
  2. I suspect you will have to save original list in a different format.
  3. With my background, I would likely convert it to a spreadsheet.
  4. I would add "flag" fields for lists 1 -> .
  5. Converting such a spreadsheet to SeaMonkey list is exercise
 left to the  student. IOW 'i dont know'

I can not answer your particular question. *BUT* I hope I have given 
useful suggestions as to how to approach the problem.

YMMV

Since you're not interested in the other group, why not just ignore it?

Pretty much the only site I visit on a semi-regular basis that is

There is only one site that I use regularly [my bank] for which I enable 
JavaScript or cookies. Only a couple of time a month to I bother to 
enable JavaScript in routine browsing. My personal opinion is that it is 
used to make a site p-u-r-t-y by adding glitz that obscures useful content.


Who? Me? Opinionated?

Personally my heart isn't into this. Even while paving the way to 2.57 I 
am always going to add this and that to 2.53 because that is for me the 
version where everything still works.


I date back back to Netscape 4. I use SeaMonkey because it kept a *VERY* 
neat functional user interface {*LACKING* Firefox/Thunderbird}. I 
particularly want to have browser and email in the same package. I even 
occasionally use Composer. I don't have a current programming skill set 
- 8080/8085 assembler primarily ;/


Browsers seem to be heading in the maximize glitz/glitter for for the 
pure sake of playing with new toys. (end minor rant ;)


Thank you.

Re: Copying a single email folder to another machine - How?

There are a couple of ways to accomplish what you want.

* Use IMAP. :)


I chose POP long ago for various reasons.



* Manually copy the folder...

1. On your destination PC, create sub-folders in the Local Folders 
account for the folder you want to import.



I just needed the reminder that what I wanted was at
"/home/richard/.mozilla/seamonkey/9bzizhmz.slt/Mail/rowlett on 
PCNET/Inbox.sbd/0backup incoming" ;/


And, considering the time I spent in "9bzizhmz.slt" a couple of 
years ago, it should have been obvious.


Thank you.

Two options:

1) Network the two computers, transfer over the network using your 
operating system's file-copying features;


2) Use the "sneakernet" (copy to removable media such as a flash drive, 
move the removable media to the target computer, use your OS's 
file-copying features).

 Sneakers not needed. The machines are 18" apart.

If you right click on the message does the "Watch Thread" context 
menu item have a check mark? Uncheck it.




 I had -- I date back to Netscape 4.?
My question was why did it happen in the first place.
The behavior goes back quite a ways - gut feel is several releases.

BTW I use
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 
Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.4

Build identifier: 20180711182954

My OS is Debian 9.1


There is a bug on Linux that if you open the context menu with a right 
click with the mouse close to the right edge of the pane, a context menu 
item will be enabled.


<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1507535#c6>



I think that explains other more frequent problems.
I'll attempt to open the menus with intent of using "Tag" or "Mark" options.

What will happen is one of:
  the message will be sent to trash.
  compose window will open as if I had chosen "Reply ..." .
  the message is moved to an archive folder.

The thread mentioned spoke of work arounds.
Will not have time immediately to check if they solve *my* problems.

Thank you.

you are unsure if the information is needed please back up the files 
before deleting them. The problem is tracked in bug 1305624 but so far 
no coding error has been found. This problem is been reported frequently 
when trying to manage passwords. But the problem will generally happen 
just after you open the Data Manager, because this component is also 
used for managing cookies, site preferences permissions and other settings.


I hear the voice of real world experience :]
That's why I mentioned that there was a similar _SYMPTOM_ in a nominally 
unrelated sub-system. I've a gut feel there is a problem in how Mozilla 
uses sqlite. [ *CAVEAT LECTOR* The last time I used a database was with 
dBaseII circa late 70's ;]

it. Is this something that will be fixed in the next release, or 
should I roll back to a previous version?
