I could be wrong, but I don't think Composer has been updated for anything

I think that's the case.  I know that several years ago, I remember 
noting in a post that if Composer isn't supported within Seamonkey, I'd 
prefer that it get dropped completely, so as not to perpetuate the 
fiction that it's supported. I guess the devs have a reason for keeping 
it in, perhaps because it's easier than removing it.


I believe that I've seen notes indicating that the devs have aspirations 
of replacing the composer with Kompozer.  That's also a Mozilla-derived 
tool, and I think it's also no longer in development, but it is newer 
than the composer element in Seamonkey.


BlueGriffon (http://bluegriffon.org/) is the primary Mozilla composition 
tool now, and that's in active development -- the most recent release 
was in October.


I maintain a handful of docs in HTML, because I find it useful to make 
content available to readers through a browser.  I used to use the 
composer, and one of the nice things about having it in Seamonkey is 
that I can be viewing a an HTML doc in Seamonkey, and press CTRL-E to 
have the editor immediately available.  However, I've found that I like 
Kompozer better, and where there's more capacity.  I have also played 
some with BlueGriffon, although there's just enough UI quirks there that 
I'm more comfortable with Kompozer.


However, I think any of these are for more basic editing, and if you 
have a site that's extensive enough to use CSS, then you want some other 
tool.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Composer has been updated for anything 
in probably a decade.

After looking at Jan's site, I'd say he is stuck with editing it with 
Freeway Pro.

Or ... a plain text editor.   :-/

You could try using the Firefox Web Developer Tools from Tools > Web 
Development > Toggle Tools, or just experiment with them.


I loaded the site in SeaMonkey 2.53.1 and used Toggle Tools which opened 
with the Style Editor already selected. It appeared to work on the CSS.

Seamonkey has a few components, but only two of them are relevant here.
- The Browser.  It is basically Firefox ESR of a few months back.  It's 
a bit more complicated than that but that is more detail than you need.
- Composer.  This is an html editor, pretty out of date and only 
show-stopper bugs are being fixed.  It does *not* support css.


I had a look at your site and it makes heavy use of css, sorry but I 
don't think Seamonkey is what you are looking for.  You can of course 
download it and test it but the killer limitation is that Composer does 
not know css.

Basically all non en-US foreign language builds. Or your native language

Not possible without modularized parts. And Firefox goes in a different 
direction with what they call Gecko today. This more or and more becomes 
a bloated mess mixing frontend browser parts with backend Gecko parts. 
Otherwise it would be easier to stay current.

If you only do an en-US build this works fine. If you don't want calendar 
you can disable or remove it in the add-on manager.


I've often thought that, rather than having to download the "whole Box and 
Dice" package and then disable the undesired bits and pieces, perhaps, when I 
want to upgrade, I should be asked which bits I want to download (say Browser, 
M&N and addressbook ONLY whilst others might want M&N, Calendar and Chatzilla 
ONLY), effectively making a package just for me and another, different, 
package just for you, etc. In each case, the Core (Gecko??) would be 
downloaded once, and the other bits added as needs be.

The x64 version does imho better with bloated sites and you are unlikely to 
run out of memory early. Same with big mail databases. Otherwise probably not 
much improvement. This would need extensive backports. I am only doing these 
for 2.53. 2.49 is security only and small improvements if possible.

this with the new infra too so this will stay.


2.) Security backports. See the mozilla-esr60_xx.patch files:

http://www.wg9s.com/comm-esr/patches/git/mozilla-esr52/mozilla-esr60_449884.patch

More to come here before an official release.

A few wip fixes which still need some work but are stable:

http://www.wg9s.com/comm-esr/patches/git/comm-esr52/

And also some fixes in review or not yet checked in.

Good answer all around, kudos.

I'd like to add that the easy way to launch Windows Task Manager (has 
been for decades in all versions of Windows, though I can't speak for 
Win10), is CTRL-SHIFT-ESC.

First of all, Mozilla (including such Mozilla-based applications as
SeaMonkey) used the term "chrome" (lower-case "c") before Google
developed its Chrome (upper-case "C") browser.  If you have Firefox,
Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, or related applications, you have chrome folders
and files.  These have nothing to do with Chrome or chrome.exe.

Now for your problem, you have installed AVG Anti-Virus in addition to
Malwarebytes.  The fault lies with AVG Anti-Virus.  When you updated AVG
Anti-Virus, it automatically added the Chrome browser without asking you
for permission.  My recommendation is to uninstall both AVG Anti-Virus
and Chrome.  This can be complicated.  The following assumes you are
using Windows 7, but there should be equivalent steps with other
versions of Windows.

For Chrome, you must use the Windows Task Manager.  On your task bar at
the bottom of you monitor screen, right click away from any task
buttons.  Select Start Task Manager.  Select the Processes tab.  Near
the top of the Processes pane, click on the Image Name bar to sort the
processes in alphabetical order.  If you scroll down and see chrome.exe,
select it and then select the End Process button at the bottom-right
corner of the window.  Check to make sure Chrome is terminated.  Then
use the Windows Programs and Features window to uninstall Chrome; you
can reach this window from [Settings > Control Panel].

To uninstall AVG, see
.


Then get a fresh installer file for AVG.  When you install, make sure
you uncheck the checkboxes for also installing Chrome.  NEVER again
allow AVG to update automatically.  NEVER again click on the update
button in AVG.  ALWAYS work from a fresh installer file that you
download via SeaMonkey.

Questions about repeated report from Malwarebytes

2017-08-01 Thread Bea
Malwarebytes  has repeatedly notified me they're blocking 
www.swagbucks.com, The report mentions a threat of an 
outbound connection, the same IP addressed each time, and 
C:\programfiles(x86)...Application\chrome.exe.  Every time I try to uninstall 
Chrome I get the message that I have to close Chrome windows, whatever that 
means.


This started after downloading the newer version of SeaMonkey.  What do I do to 
get this to stop? How do I uninstall Chrome?

It is sort of goofy.  Google groups duplicates many newsgroups, but they are 
still newsgroups.  This one is no exception.  It's just not hosted by the 
major newsgroup servers, rather by mozilla.org.


There is also an email list, but I'm not clear on whether you can post 
through it or if it is only for reading.  Doesn't matter to me, I much 
prefer newsgroups over mailing lists for casual topics.

Not really correct.  My default server is not NNTP.  It is my email server. 
This setting is only for sending an email reply which is usually of no value 
because most people don't provide valid email addresses with their posts.


Hopefully we can put this thread to bed.  It has gone far past its usefulness.

Ray, I can only suggest that yours is set to "smtp.scarlet.be" as your

On that same drop-down, for "Outgoing Server (SMTP):", I only have "Use

This is not the page where you set the news server.  My setting for
Outgoing Server (SMTP) is "Use Default Server".

Click on Server Settings below news.mozilla.org which will give you
another screen for NNTP server type.  If it doesn't show NNTP I think
you need to start over and add a new account.


It is the Account Settings page for his news.mozilla.org account.

I only have that account here, no email accounts. The Outgoing Server 
(SMTP): field shows "Use Default Server". That would be the NNTP server.


I have no SMTP server listed in Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings.




Funny, I can't pull up a way to add an email account.  When I pull up
"add account" it is only for NNTP servers.  Go figure!

By definition newsgroups are accessed through the NNTP protocol
which is implemented on news servers.  That is a separate means 
from

SMTP which is implemented on email servers.

I know newsgroups can be posted to using email clients, i.e. 
sending

an email because I did this when I started using newsgroups.  I
don't know if you can read messages by email though. I don't know
if this requires a special email program that actually sends the
message by NNTP or if email has to be addressed to a server that
converts between SMTP and NNTP.

Is that any more clear?


Yes and no :-)
In fact, I will be interested to know HOW TO post here to
news.mozilla.org by using SeaMonkey without using any SMTP server ?


Both mozilla-lists.mbou...@spamgourmet.com and rickman have stated
that newsgroups don't use SMTP. I'm not sure why you don't believe 
them.


You asked how:
1. Go to a newsgroup.
2. Click "Compose".
3. Type your message, and click Send.
That's how. :)

You can test it by creating a new SeaMonkey profile, and creating a
newsgroups account for news.mozilla.org with no SMTP server, then
sending a post to mozilla.test.



I finally believed them, but MY news-group account to access
news.mozilla.org have my ISP smtp server written in the SM options for
this account.
I just look at that option and the only choices are all my smtp 
servers

and "Use Default Server" there is no "No SMTP server".
When reading your posting, I go to Edit>Mail and News Groups Account 
Settings and under news.mozilla.org I click on Server Settings. 
There I read "news.mozilla.org" (under the heading Server Type: News 
Server). Do you get something different?

Larry S.
Yes ... BUT whne you say: "and under news.mozilla.org I click on 
Server Settings."

I don't click ..I just look at the rigth side where I read:
- Account name
- Default identity infos
- Signature options
- option to attach my vCard to messages
- AND - this: Outgoing Server (SMTP) : with my smtp server.
Then a button "Manage Identities..."
then 3 buttons: "OK"- "Cancel" and "Help"

So I have a place to put the SMTP-Server and I cannot remove this.
Do you get something different ?

How is it possible to post to news.mozilla.org without using an
SMTP server ?


By definition newsgroups are accessed through the NNTP protocol
which is implemented on news servers.  That is a separate means from
SMTP which is implemented on email servers.

I know newsgroups can be posted to using email clients, i.e. sending
an email because I did this when I started using newsgroups.  I
don't know if you can read messages by email though.  I don't know
if this requires a special email program that actually sends the
message by NNTP or if email has to be addressed to a server that
converts between SMTP and NNTP.

Is that any more clear?


Yes and no :-)
In fact, I will be interested to know HOW TO post here to
news.mozilla.org by using SeaMonkey without using any SMTP server ?


Both mozilla-lists.mbou...@spamgourmet.com and rickman have stated
that newsgroups don't use SMTP. I'm not sure why you don't believe them.

You asked how:
1. Go to a newsgroup.
2. Click "Compose".
3. Type your message, and click Send.
That's how. :)

You can test it by creating a new SeaMonkey profile, and creating a
newsgroups account for news.mozilla.org with no SMTP server, then
sending a post to mozilla.test.



I finally believed them, but MY news-group account to access
news.mozilla.org have my ISP smtp server written in the SM options for
this account.
I just look at that option and the only choices are all my smtp servers
and "Use Default Server" there is no "No SMTP server".
When reading your posting, I go to Edit>Mail and News Groups Account 
Settings and under news.mozilla.org I click on Server Settings. There I 
read "news.mozilla.org" (under the heading Server Type: News Server). Do 
you get something different?

Email (and SMTP) is NOT needed. It's the same for both SeaMonkey and

Rickman, userChrome.css if a text file that tells SeaMonkey specific
stuff
that you want to do. Natively, SM does not have a userChrome.css file,
but
you should find a userChrome-example.css file. Just rename it to
userChrome.css, add the css that you want a start SM, and you should
be on
your way!

Hope this helps.



Yes, I was able to find it, made the suggested edits and that seems to
work.  Thanks.

But this seems to be a rather blunt instrument.  It would appear to be
adjusting the thickness of the font strokes and only indirectly the
size. Using the suggested 15px makes the text both larger but also
bolder so that it is hard to distinguish from bold text.  Changing the
value to 14px made the type the same size it had originally been, but
still very bold.  Smaller values don't reduce the size further, but make
the text less bold until 12px which appears to be the size used without
this file.

Anyone know if there is a way to make the text slightly larger without
making it bolder?

Use a different font.  Trebuchet is slightly bolder than other fonts, 
which makes it easier to read for me.  You could use Arial or Helvetica 
instead.

I just installed SeaMonkey 2.46 on my 27" iMac under MacOS 10.9.5, and
have gotten SM to mostly work, but there are some problems:

1.  My ISP requires a password to post email to the SMTP server, but I
have not figured out how to enter such a password.  An email client
that cannot post email isn't much use, so one assumes that there is a
solution.  In this case, I knew that I had not been able to enter a
password, but I won't be that lucky in the future.

Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot
sent email replies, or save copies of postings as emails to self.


I don't know about saving posts as emails to self, but SeaMonkey is also
a newsreader.  So all those features should be included in the
newsreader function of SeaMonkey.

Actually I just checked and I can click "reply to sender" then edit the
address and email it to myself.



2.  Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the
email and/or news servers.  This is essential for troubleshooting
problems like why my attempts to sent email never complete.


3.  While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of
messages and postings, I have not found a way to change the size of
text in such things as the list of messages; this makes SM very
difficult to use an a large high-resolution display.

You need to create the chrome subdirectory in the profile.  Did you read

The reason for this is that images on a computer screen are actually 
just sets of pixels arranged in ways that make sense. Each pixel in a 
black-and-white image must either be on (black) or off (white). So if 
your program sends an image with a line that's in between say, two 
pixels wide and three pixels wide, the display cannot show it 
two-and-a-half pixels wide, it has to choose two or three.


There are ways around this -- you can fake it by making borderline 
pixels gray on a color monitor; JPEGs do this. But my point was that the 
fonts look "bold" because the lines are slightly thicker than they would 
theoretically be on a monitor with infinitesimally tiny pixels. It's a 
display problem, not a SeaMonkey problem.



Anyone know if there is a way to make the text slightly larger
without making it bolder?


As a practical matter, if you're viewing a web page and the print is not 
the size you like, do CTRL-+ to increase it, CTRL-- to decrease it, and 
CTRL-0 to return to the default size. SeaMonkey normally zooms the 
entire page uniformly, but you can set it to zoom only the text and not 
the other elements at Edit | Preferences | Appearance | Content by 
checking the box, "Zoom only text instead of full pages."


Another place you can look is at Edit | Preferences | Appearance | 
Fonts. For each encoding (Western, Unicode, etc. in the pull-down list 
at top), you can set a minimum size. This is helpful for humans, but 
some designers hard-code the sizes of dialog boxes and other display 
elements, and you may find that large print in such boxes is not all 
visible. For such cases, you have to temporarily disable the minimum 
size setting, allowing the print to be tiny enough to fit.


It would be great to have an icon or shortcut to select either text only 
or pics only resizing.

I don't follow your post.  You start off saying font strokes can only be 
integer numbers of pixels wide, then you backtrack explaining how 
anti-aliasing is used to provide non-integer values, then you blame the font 
limitations on the display.


*All* modern font rendering uses anti-aliasing to prevent the text from 
looking grainy.  This also allows font stroke widths to be non-integer 
pixels.  Just look at any other application on the computer and you won't 
find this problem.  I can select a wide range of font sizes in a document 
app and it will look perfect.  The browser in SeaMonkey lets me change font 
size smoothly and without distorting the boldness.  Heck, even the window I 
am typing this in allows me to change the font size smoothly and without a 
*lot* of distortion although it's not as even as the browser, it is 
certainly better than the control we are discussing.

You haven't read this thread from the beginning.  The text being adjusted is 
not on a web page.  The text is in the newsreader and is everything that 
isn't in a post or composition.

Rickman, userChrome.css if a text file that tells SeaMonkey specific stuff
that you want to do. Natively, SM does not have a userChrome.css file, but
you should find a userChrome-example.css file. Just rename it to
userChrome.css, add the css that you want a start SM, and you should be on
your way!

Hope this helps.



Yes, I was able to find it, made the suggested edits and that seems to work. 
 Thanks.


But this seems to be a rather blunt instrument.  It would appear to be 
adjusting the thickness of the font strokes and only indirectly the size. 
Using the suggested 15px makes the text both larger but also bolder so that 
it is hard to distinguish from bold text.  Changing the value to 14px made 
the type the same size it had originally been, but still very bold.  Smaller 
values don't reduce the size further, but make the text less bold until 12px 
which appears to be the size used without this file.


Anyone know if there is a way to make the text slightly larger without 
making it bolder?

1.  My ISP requires a password to post email to the SMTP server, but I
have not figured out how to enter such a password.  An email client
that cannot post email isn't much use, so one assumes that there is a
solution.  In this case, I knew that I had not been able to enter a
password, but I won't be that lucky in the future.

Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot
sent email replies, or save copies of postings as emails to self.


I don't know about saving posts as emails to self, but SeaMonkey is also
a newsreader.  So all those features should be included in the
newsreader function of SeaMonkey.

Actually I just checked and I can click "reply to sender" then edit the
address and email it to myself.



2.  Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the
email and/or news servers.  This is essential for troubleshooting
problems like why my attempts to sent email never complete.


3.  While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of
messages and postings, I have not found a way to change the size of
text in such things as the list of messages; this makes SM very
difficult to use an a large high-resolution display.

WHAT is your ISP giving you access to his SMTP server ?
Normally ISP published on their site all the details need to use as the
SMTP parameters to be set to SeaMonkey ...

If you don't give us those informations .. nobody can help you.

It's COMCAST, as stated in the parallel replies.  Comcast does publish the

Hello Joe,
Could you explain why my answer/question is wrong ?
I repeat the answer/question about your SMTP problem for a mail:

If the "Outgoing SMTP server" for your SM mail account is the same as 
for your SM newsgroup account...

... you can post a newsgroup message as well you can send a mail.
I don't see why it should be different.

I figured this one out today.  I had tried Thunderbird some time ago, and had 
not had such problems, so I looked at tbird's preferences - it was using port 
465 for SMTP upload, not 587 (that I had in my notes, probably from some prior 
anti-spam "fix", now forgotten).  With 465, Seamonkey now it works, and I get 
the copy to myself as well.

I will summarize the correct settings in a notebook - setup data is currently 
scattered about in prior notes.

When you attempt to send a message, SeaMonkey will prompt you for the
password. There will be a checkbox to remember that password. It's the
same password manager used in the browser.


It isn't happening.


Could you tell us what is happening? When you try to send a message what 
do you see? Any error messages? If so, what do they say?


As other have also requested, what are your server settings?


Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot sent 
email replies, or save copies of postings as emails to self.


To send an email reply, control-click on the message, and select "Reply
to Sender Only". There's also a small arrow beside the Reply toolbar
icon, that will let you choose whether to reply in the newsgroup or to
the sender only.

To save a copy of a newsgroup article, you can either:
* drag the message to any mail folder
* control-click on the message and select "Copy To"
* On the menu bar, go to the Message menu and select "Copy To"
* Add the "File" toolbar icon to the toolbar, and click on it to copy
the message to a folder.


Solves the wrong problem.  I want a method to automatically save copies of 
everything I post.  Any method that requires me to unfailingly remember to do 
something is doomed.



1. Go to Edit-->Mail_&_Newsgroups_Account_Settings.
2. Select the newsgroups account you want to edit.
3. Within it, select the Copies_&_Folders panel.
4. Under "When sending messages" there should already be a check mark 
beside "Automatically place a copy in". Underneath, you can change the 
folder that copies are filed in.



3.  While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of messages and 
postings, I have not found a way to change the size of text in such things as 
the list of messages; this makes SM very difficult to use an a large 
high-resolution display.


Try the instructions at .
I haven't tested that in years, so tell me if it doesn't work.


I'll try this.  As I mentioned in a separate email, Zoom only affects the 
message bodies, and not icons, list entries, et al, defeating the purpose of 
Zoom.


Tell us how it goes.

When you figure out that one let me know!  I nearly can't read the
post subjects or tell when a group has new posts.  I'm getting
serious eyestrain.


On my Windows system, that's a function of the operating system.
Right-click an empty area of the desktop, choose "Properties" (Win7:
"Personalize"), and you can configure the font sizes of menu items in
all programs at once.


I've already set that for Windows.  This program behaves differently from
other apps including *T-Bird* which shares a common code base but not the
details of the look.


On your system (which OS?), is this peculiar to SeaMonkey, or are all
menu items in all programs equally hard to read? If it's a global issue,
it needs a global solution; it makes no sense to customize every program
separately.


There are some apps which are not coded to work with the Windows setting.
So they are still very small.  Eudora is one.  It is a program that has
not had any updates for over 15 years.


SeaMonkey does use the "message-box" system font in its UI:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font#Syntax
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font#message-box
chrome://global/skin/global.css

window,
page,
dialog,
wizard,
prefwindow {
  -moz-appearance: window;
  background-color: -moz-Dialog;
  color: -moz-DialogText;
  font: message-box;
}

Unfortunately there's no obvious way to customize that using Windows 10 😞,
for example.


Thanks for that info.

Any idea why the appearance of the group and message panes are so different 
from T-bird?  I'm not sure if the fonts are different, but the text lines 
are certainly more crowded together and harder to read.

What is your ISP? Comcast?

What are your Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings?

smtp.comcast.net  -- Seamonkey does appear to be communing with this server, 
but never complains or completes.

The port is 587.  This is known to work from other newsreaders running on the

You NEVER told us what is your SMTP server  therefore, We cannot

It's simpler to keep a copy of what was sent, rather than depending on the 
newsreader to get it wight.  Often, it does not.

A better solution has been posted, in "Copies and Folders".

No prompt.  Nor does there seem to be any way just add the data to
the Passwords file.


OK, try this (assuming you know your SMTP username and password):

Go to  and enter 
"comcast" (no quotation marks) in the search window at upper left. You 
should get a list that includes an entry with the SMTP data. Select and 
delete it.


Rationale: The next time you try to send a message, SM will have no 
userid or password to send to the server, so it will HAVE to prompt you 
for the info. Enter the data and check the box telling SM to remember, 
and that should solve it. If you get it wrong, you should get an 
immediate error message inviting you to try again.


Do be careful to adhere to Comcast's policy as to whether you should 
enter your full email address (joegw...@comcast.net) or just the prefix 
(joegwinn) as your username. Different ISPs have different preferences.

Try playing around in about:config with layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

See if 1.5 or 2.0 get you anything. HiDPI support in SeaMonkey is currently 
lacking so icons might not look too nice.


If you experience any gross errors please file a bug. This needs to be solved 
over time.

Actually I just checked and I can click "reply to sender" then edit the

2.  Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the

problems like why my attempts to sent email never complete.

When you figure out that one let me know!  I nearly can't read the post
subjects or tell when a group has new posts.  I'm getting serious
eyestrain.

I got the font to be readable in the whole interface by adding code to 
my userChrome.css file in the profile in the subdirectory "chrome".  The 
first line in that file has to be the namespace line.


/* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct

I just installed SeaMonkey 2.46 on my 27" iMac under MacOS 10.9.5, and have

What is your ISP? Comcast?

What are your Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings?

See:  or contact your ISP for 
the proper settings.


You don't get a password prompt asking for the password and allowing you 
to save it in SeaMonkey's password manager?





Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot sent 
email replies, or save copies of postings as emails to self.



Are you using Google Groups to post messages, or subscribed to this 
group on news.mozilla.org?


Not able to send replies to the mailing list, or another person? It is 
better to reply to the list or newsgroup.




2.  Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the email 
and/or news servers.  This is essential for troubleshooting problems like why 
my attempts to sent email never complete.




The key combination Ctrl+Shift+J should bring up the Error Console, 
which may have error messages related to why your attempts never complete.




3.  While I have no problem changing the font size in the body of messages and 
postings, I have not found a way to change the size of text in such things as 
the list of messages; this makes SM very difficult to use an a large 
high-resolution display.



Chris provided the instructions for creating a userChrome.css file. This 
may also help

At the top of the screen, select "Edit"
Select "Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings"
Scroll down to the bottom for "Outgoing Server SMTP"
Click "Add" and then add the details for your mail server.

On mine, I have "Normal Password" selected. The first time I try sending an 
email, it asks for my
password and then saves it so it won't ask for it again. This is somewhat of an 
over simplification
but you can Google Seamonkey Mail Setup for more details.


I've tried all this, to no avail.

Joe

You need to set SeaMonkey to save passwords.  Preferences > Privacy & 
Security > Passwords > check "Remember passwords".  In Account Settings 
> Server Settings for an account, check "Always request authentication 
when connecting to this server".

Sorry.  They will NOT be sorted by year.  It is Archived messages that
are sorted by year automatically.


Messages in any mail folder will be sorted by the sort parameters set 
for all folders. In my case, I sort ascending by date (newest at 
bottom), and all folders honor that choice. The OP can choose whatever 
he likes by clicking the column heading in any message folder. Clicking 
the same column heading again toggles the order (ascending/descending).

I don't know about saving posts as emails to self, but SeaMonkey is also
a newsreader.  So all those features should be included in the
newsreader function of SeaMonkey.

Actually I just checked and I can click "reply to sender" then edit the
address and email it to myself.


You didn't respond to this part.  If your posts show up in the 
newsreader as posts to the group, do you need to save them separately?


You can do that using filters.  Filter on posts from you and set the 
action to copy them to another folder.




2.  Is there a log file that records the chit-chat between SM and the email 
and/or news servers.  This is essential for troubleshooting problems like why 
my attempts to sent email never complete.

When you figure out that one let me know!  I nearly can't read the post
subjects or tell when a group has new posts.  I'm getting serious
eyestrain.


I've not succeeded.  Not even Zoom works.  Only message content listens to zoom 
or to font changes. It would appear that the developers of Seamonkey are 
unclear on the concept of Zoom - it's not supposed to be selective.

When you attempt to send a message, SeaMonkey will prompt you for the
password. There will be a checkbox to remember that password. It's the
same password manager used in the browser.


It isn't happening.



> Use as a newsgroup reader is also greatly hindered, because one cannot sent

To send an email reply, control-click on the message, and select "Reply
to Sender Only". There's also a small arrow beside the Reply toolbar
icon, that will let you choose whether to reply in the newsgroup or to
the sender only.

To save a copy of a newsgroup article, you can either:
* drag the message to any mail folder
* control-click on the message and select "Copy To"
* On the menu bar, go to the Message menu and select "Copy To"
* Add the "File" toolbar icon to the toolbar, and click on it to copy
the message to a folder.


Solves the wrong problem.  I want a method to automatically save copies of 
everything I post.  Any method that requires me to unfailingly remember to do 
something is doomed.

I think there is, but I can't find the preference right now. Hoping
someone else can look it up. :)

Try the instructions at .
I haven't tested that in years, so tell me if it doesn't work.


I'll try this.  As I mentioned in a separate email, Zoom only affects the 
message bodies, and not icons, list entries, et al, defeating the purpose of 
Zoom.

Thanks,

Joe
