[SM 2.20, Linux Mint 15] Amazon sound samples stopped working
Playing samples on Amazon used to work for me, but over the last few days I've been getting the uninformative message Error 3 when I hit the listen button. I am not aware of having touched / changed anything related to sample file playback. Looking around the forums and web, I saw posts indicating such problems may be associated with Flash Player, and so I used Synaptic to install the most current Flash Player available (11,2,202,297 - a little more current than the version that had been delivered with Mint 15). It didn't make a difference. Grasping at straws and wondering if the problem was related to the helper application for m3u files, I added Videos (Totem) as the helper application for m3u files. Again, it didn't make a difference. Finally, I tried opening the same Amazon page ( http://www.amazon.com/Creation-Du-Monde-D-Mulhaud/dp/B0009JMEJ2/ref=sr_1_2?s=musicie=UTF8qid=1376194675sr=1-2 ) with Firefox - and found FF to play the samples just fine. FF's plugin list and helper application list appear identical to those in SM. Can anyone suggest what I should look at / try to get SM to play the Amazon sound samples?

[SM 2.6.1 / Linux Mint 12] Download Mgr - Open Containing Folder prompts for app
I had asked about this problem a week or two ago. Thinking that I may have caused my own problem (perhaps by mis-setting a parameter somewhere), I've set up a brand new profile to see what happens out of box. When I download a file and RMB Open Containing Folder, SM indeed prompts for an application - the Launch Application panel pops up, displays no pre-set list of applications, and asks me to choose an application. I imagine the issue is related to helper application list. Before the first download attempt, there was no entry for file; following the first attempt, there's now an always ask entry. I can of course select nautilus as application associated with file content type (and when I do so, open containing folder thereafter works as I'd intend). But... I should think that open containing folder (a perfectly self-explanatory label) should just open the folder without need to specify an app. Before recently (SM 2.4 - 2.6), I never made any such selection, and I never have had this problem. It seems to me it could just be a menu problem, i.e., that SM is attempting to do an open rather than an open containing folder. Is anyone else seeing this same behavior? Agree it's a bug? I can go ahead and file a bug report, if that's the correct next step.

[SM 2.0.11 / Ubuntu 10.10] Send Save Copy vs Send
Is there function somewhere in SM (or some extension) by which I could decide when I send whether to save a copy of the outgoing email message? So far as I can see, the preferences are global and binary - I can set my preference to always save a copy, or to never save a copy. I'd like instead explicitly to choose whether to save at the point I hit send.

Certainly there's no such SM option. If your SM downloads your Yahoo spam folder, I imagine there must be some such option in your Yahoo that's not in mine.

Thanks, keith whaley I'd start by using the Seamonkey function to compress your drafts file. If that doesn't work... On my (Linux) system, the files are named drafts and drafts.msf.

Re: Upgrade to 2.04
Henry wrote: I'm running a Dell computer with 3GHz processor, 2 G Ram and WinXP Pro SP2. I now have Mozilla 1.7.8 and want to upgrade to Seamonkey 2.04. Will that upgrade or do I have to go through a Seamonkey 1.x first? Thanks Henry I'd wait for more responses from people more knowledgeable than me, but... No, you don't have to go thru Seamonkey 1.x to get to 2.x I don't know how well Seamonkey will behave importing everything from your existing Mozilla installation, so my suggestion is carefully to back up your existing files (especially your bookmarks and email) first. You can do so using Mozbackup (if you're on Windows) or manually. You can then run the Seamonkey 2.x installation and see if it finds / migrates your files. If it doesn't, you can get them from your backup (and your original Mozilla installation should still be there too, for that matter). Personally, for such a major change, I have always done a completely new installation without migration, used Seamonkey to do basic new account setup (including email), and then copied my old mail folder contents (and bookmarks) into the new. But that's just my method, which I realize won't work or is too complicated for many. I presume you really mean the latest Seamonkey (2.0.6) rather than having some particular reason to go with 2.0.4. But if you do want 2.0.4 and have the install program, what I say above should work either way.

[SM 2.0.5, Linux Mint 9] Can't change/select helper app for .pdf link in html format email
This is probably an operator headspace problem, but perhaps someone here can help me... I have received an html format email from someone that includes a reference to a pdf file, http://www.adventurecycling.org/resources/201002_GoingDutch_Pengilly.pdf. The problem is that when I click the file, I always get a ClamAV scan, with no prompt to select another action. I've looked at the message source; The URL above seems just to be inserted into a block of plain text. SM does recognize it as a URL, though; the formatted display shows the URL as a hyperlink. There are other similar URLs (pdf files) in the same message, but in the other cases, Document Viewer opens when I click the link (again with no prompt for another choice of action). In those cases the URLs are again just inserted in a block of plain text. I've looked in the list of SM browser helper applications; I see two entries for PDF files, both invoking Document Viewer. (Of course, I don't know if helper applications are even relevant to HTML format emails.) I've also checked Nautilus' settings, which point to Document Viewer (but that's probably irrelevant too). So... Can you suggest what I should look at to figure out why this particular pdf file is triggering ClamAV rather than triggering Document Viewer? Is there a way for me to change / update the association that's being used to always ask or always use Document Viewer?

Installing Seamonkey manually vs via Synaptic / Apt (Ubuntu / Mint)
The Seamonkey install instructions I've been using (successfully) for a year or two have me expand the Seamonkey tar/bz2 file into a subdirectory under home, and manually add an entry in my Gnome/Kde menu, as opposed to installing via Synaptic/Apt. The rationale as I recall is that I as nonprivileged user can thereafter add extensions, and no have to run as root when doing so.

What kind of nonsense is this?!?!?! How can one edit one's own bookmarks file?? I agree with the comments by others to the effect that (1) make sure SeaMonkey is completely shut down before editing, (2) keep a backup in case you mess things up, and (3) use a plain text / programmer editor. I edit my bookmarks files frequently (mainly to keep the versions from various machines in synch). I suppose I could use a synch service of some sort, but I've been editing for a decade and don't see a reason to stop now. I usually just copy/paste uncategorized items from/to the bottom of my bookmarks file, and then use the bookmark manager to move the bookmarks into the right categories. That way I don't need to worry about (nor mess up) categories and category delimiters. I could misremember, but I think the system generated file warning has been at the top of many Mozilla / Firefox / SeaMonkey files for a long time - maybe including the bookmark file. -- Rob Lindauer - for my real address, replace att with sbc ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Let's let someone more expert than I confirm - but so far as I know, you should delete the inbox.msf file from your new folder, and SM will automatically regenerate it when you open your inbox.) The inbox folder location depends on your operating system and choices you made when you installed SM. In my case, it's in Local Folders under Mail under my .slt folder.
