FileEdit function in SM but not FF
As you guys who have helped me know, I'm not a technical person, just a fairly knowledgeable user. I like the Edit function in SM because I can copy items out of the URL's which have some sort of copy detent when viewed through the normal browser. When I click FileEdit on that page, I can copy whatever I want. I do not find this function on FF. Is it there?

Is there a way to open the URL's, which were sent in email to my Seamonkey email client, in Firefox? Thanks, Serge Well, the logical assumption is that, since SeaMonkey is a suite, a user is unlikely to want to use just the mail/news client without the browser. However, I can certainly see how one might want to. SeaMonkey has a cleaner user interface then TB does, although I am very used to it, so that might explain my feeling. It is pretty easy to disable the mail client fro mailto links, but adding the followning pref in about:config, and setting it to true: network.protocol-handler.external.mailto Unfortunately, adding the following pref and setting it to true: network.protocol-handler.external.http pretty much disables the browser entirely. If that's what you want to do, it would work, but you would have to reset the pref every time you want to use the SeaMonkey browser. Short of such a drastic step, there is no easy answer. We used to recommend the Launchy extension, but that seems to have been abandoned, with no update since 2006. That leaves you with copying the link and pasting it into the FF location bar. Lee Thanks again Lee, for your help. Guess I'll leave well enough alone.

Thanks, Serge American Express says they support Firefox. Their Web server may be attempting to detect what browser you are using. This is called sniffing. In too many cases, servers sniff for Firefox when they should instead sniff for Gecko. That's because the component that requests and displays the Web page is the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine, which is used by both Firefox and SeaMonkey (although SeaMonkey uses a version of Gecko that is one step behind Firefox). See http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko for details. One way to test my conjecture that sniffing for Firefox is involved is to make the server think you are indeed using Firefox. This is called spoofing. There are two major ways to do this. You can install an extension such as PrefBar or UserAgentSwitcher from Mozdev. Use the installed extension to spoof Firefox. You can change your user agent string manually. (See http://www.rossde.com/internet/intr_gloss.html#agent for a definition and example of user agent.) Search in MozillaZine at http://www.mozillazine.org/ for advice on doing this. If either of these solves your problem, then please (1) report it as a bug and (2) notify American Express. To report a bug, go to the American Express site; then, on the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Help Report Broken Web Site]. The best way to notify American Express would be a letter (postal mail) to the CEO; minimize (but don't eliminate) technical jargon and include a reference to the http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko Web site.

One of those URL's is American Express. When opening a monthly statement the figures are shown under the wrong columns and the statement becomes impossible to read. American Express says they support Firefox. I'd like to know what the two components in Seamonkey are. Is the mail side a version of Firefox? Mail shares it's code from Thunderbird. The Browsers shares code with Firefox. Is there anything I can do in Seamonkey so that the columns and figures are presented as written? Besides the posted suggestions to notify about broken websites, you could try to install SM2.0alpha for a test. (it will import your profile to a new one so you old SM remains as is) You should notify them anyway about there stupid Firefox sniffing and tell them to sniff for Gecko instead of Firefox as already told here. regards Martin Thanks, Martin, I'll pass it along to them. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Components
I run Seamonkey for both mail and browsing. On certain URL's the original design of the page is not reproduced faithfully by Seamonkey. One of those URL's is American Express. When opening a monthly statement the figures are shown under the wrong columns and the statement becomes impossible to read. American Express says they support Firefox. I'd like to know what the two components in Seamonkey are. Is the mail side a version of Firefox? Is there anything I can do in Seamonkey so that the columns and figures are presented as written? I actually have to use Internet Explorer to read my American Express Statements.

Can't forward emails with pictures
I've just read a dozen emails on this topic and do not seem to be able to find an answer. I run XP and Seamonkey. Up until a week or so ago, I was able to forward emails, inline, with photos in them. Now, I am only able to forward emails inline with text in them. I need the inline function so that I can edit out all the extraneous contents and mailing addresses before I forward the message. I am aware of no changes I might have made to cause the above. If I want to forward a message, inline, I now have to save each picture, open it, copy it and then paste it to the email. This becomes very tedious when there are lots of pictures. My Send in HTML is turned on. Can anyone tell me how I can restore the send inline function?

Some ISP's limit the size of e-mails they will handlecould be your ISP, could be the other end's ISP!! Daniel Sometimes it is only one picture. Size doesn't seem to matter, Seamonkey has decided it no longer wants to forward any photos or cartoons at all. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks. um, what? All emails are in fact stored in a file (one file per folder (one for inbox, one for drafts, one for templates etc...)). Feel free to copy them or whatever you like. As you didn't specify any version/OS, noone will be able to tell you where to have a look, so good luck ;-P If I am reading your request correctly I set up a second account set to a unknown server x.x.x and set its default file location to a location like C:\docs\Mozilla where I keep these files emails can be filtered to that account or you can manually move them Your second option is move the default file location out of its location to where ever you want hope this helps Thanks for the advice, but, I guess I don't know the proper terminology to phrase my question properly. In fact, my word processor files and my spreadsheets are located where I can find them and, if necessary, transfer them to another computer. I don't know how to find my Seamonkey email files. If I can find them, I'd like to be able to back them up on an external hard drive. So, what I'm asking is how to find the Seamonkey email files and transfer them in a Word or PDF format to an external hard drive. I hope I said it this time. Thanks. Serge O.K., Serge, try this! There are two parts to a SeaMonkey set-up, the first is where the Program is installed and the second is where the profile is stored. If you un-install SeaMonkey, all you are doing is emptying the program location, the profile remains untouched, but, what I'm guessing is you want to know where the profile is! With-in SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit-MailNewsgroup Account Settings and select your Mail account. On the bottom line of the Server Setting screen, you should find the Local Directorythis is where your profile is stored. Use your Windows Explorer to go there (you may have to un-hide it first!!) and you should find a folder like fhuye376n.slt. This .slt folder holds your profile with your incoming messages in the inbox folder (inbox.msf is just an indexing file and can be deleted without any great consequences!), your outgoing messages are in the sent folder (sent.msf is just an indexing...!). Is this the information you are after?? Daniel Daniel, thanks for your patience and clarity of explanation. I got it! It is exactly what I wanted but didn't know the proper terminology to phrase the question. Now all I have to do is to copy those files onto my external hard drive and I'm relatively safe in case of a crash. Again, Thanks.
