I seem to recall that you might need to download the newsgroup posts 
onto your hard drive in order to do a search of the posts, because 
the NG posts are not, normally, downloaded onto your hard drive!!


Note the reference in my above post to "local system archives. " The 
emails ARE on my HD if I have read them, which I have.


And now, I must report that "Option" has entirely disappeared from 
the drop-down box of search options, although all the other search 
options continue to be listed. What the heck is going on??


Yes, your emails are on your hard drive, but you said you were 
searching this newsgroup and the messages are not.


You are reading the content from the server, only the Header is 
downloaded.


First download and install SeaMonkey 2.48 released 2017-07-31.

<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/>

Then select the newsgroup Account > View settings for this account > 
Synchronization & Storage, then click the "Select newsgroups for 
offline use..." button and select the newsgroup, then try your search 
again.


Duh!! I see I was getting myself a bit confused above. Thought I had 
been able to search for content in the news groups previously, but I 
think I was actually searching the subject line - haven't done it for so 
long. Have set things for offline use as you explain above, can now 
search the contents. Thanks for the heads-up..

I did not know it was there but after going "offline" and doing a

Larry, as I understand it, this means that you are not allowed to

However, all is not lost...

Down in the bottom right hand corner is what looks like a power
extension cord plugged into another extension cord (the On-Line

Well, I've seen that check box but wasn't sure what it really did for

Haven't seen this in a bit, but first what it means. Chaining means
sending one command to a server, then sending another before the first
completes. With some server software this might allow multiple commands
to be running at once, but in general it just saves the time between
client and server interaction. Some servers don't like this, because it
could fill a network buffer, have multiple commands running at once, be
used for spamming, or "just because."

What to do? I thought there was a setting for this in the "server" part
of the account setup, but I don't see it. None of the servers I use
needs to have this changed so I didn't look all that hard, I thought I
remembered a checkbox in the server settings, but that might have been a
1.1.x thing, or even 1.0.x, I've been using Seamonkey a long time.


Thanks for any advice anyone might have.


Since you have a reason to look harder than I do, and now you know what
to look for, see if you can find anything related to chaining commands.
Or find another server if possible, or live with the message. Your choice.


Larry



Thank you, Bill. Good insight into the problem, so now I understand it 
(within the range of my limited technical abilities!). Sadly, no such 
check box. I'll investigate the possibility of a different server.


Thanks again,
Larry

Then I might just as well stay on 2.0.14 and wait,

Easier than:
1. - search messages
2. - Mark/flag all messages in list
3. - return to total list
4. - sort on marks/flags, to get all the messages
from the search contiguous
5. - Do whatever actions on selections from this
sublist. ( sorting won't work. But it doesn't
work flexibly anyway)
6. - Clear flags
7. - Fix up sorting, et.c. of the original message
list.

8. - Grumble, grumble

How long and stretchable is that ~1 month?
Software delivery dates have a habit of slipping!

P.s I do wish there was an option to enable, let,
the search pattern be a regular expression.
(a la Vim ...)


If I can get the 2.2 beta 1 out in a reasonable time, without too much
problems, I can probably be persuaded to write an addon to "fix" this

I make no guarantees though.

Confirm w/Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1)
Gecko/20110531 Firefox/4.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.1pre

Recommend filing a bug report. When you do I'll add to it noting the
same issue w/linux.

"2.1pre" (RC2) and search results--can't do much in "Search Messages" window

[Bob Fleischer]

I am running RC2 on Windows 7, 64-bit and find that when I use the 
"search messages" window, there is very little I can do with the listed 
search results.


Click, double-click, and right-click do nothing on a search result item.

While I can select any search result item, and highlight it, I can't 
open it with the "Open" button.  (I can however delete it with the 
"Delete" button.  "Open Message Folder" will open a new message window 
with the message selected.))


This is stuff I used to do all the time with earlier versions of 
SeaMonkey (such as 2.0), so this is very worrisome.

Does searching "body" look at more than the visible message?


In my experience, yes. It also looks at the alphabet soup used to send 
graphics (do CTRL-U to see what I mean), so if you have an attached JPEG 
that happens to "contain" your search string, it will be reported as a 
hit. That's why it's a good idea to choose a string longer than a few 
characters.


Also, is there any way to have Seamonkey highlight the searched word? 
Or is there any other software that might do this for me?


Dunno. I just use CTRL-F (find) and CTRL-G (find again).




Thank you -- that works!

Using:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre)
Gecko/20090122 SeaMonkey/2.0a3pre

And I search on 1/12/2009 I see a message that was sent (from Taiwan):

>From - Tue Jan 13 07:43:32 2009
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:50:35 +0800 (CST)
Received: (qmail 34719 invoked by uid 60001); 13 Jan 2009 05:50:35 -

but my mailserver:
X-Apparently-To:  via ; Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:50:37 -0800

Display date on the message is 12 Jan 2009

Another (from Japan)
>From - Tue Jan  6 19:00:06 2009
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2009 11:08:40 +0900
X-Apparently-To:  via ; Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:08:41 -0800

So I _think_ it is correct; I received the first on 12 Jan 2009 21:50:37
-0800 and the second one on 06 Jan 2009 18:08:41 -0800
my time.

Search Messages and Timezone

[Bruno Escherl]

Hello,

if I want to search for all messages from one day, using the "Date is" 
filter in Search Messages, I get confusing results for Mozilla/5.0 (X11; 
U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090122 
SeaMonkey/2.0a3pre


Date seems to be take from the original send date of the message while 
ignoring the timezone. So e.g. bugzilla Mails for 22.01.2009 will start 
at 09:00 und go to 8:59 on the 23.01.2009 (9h time difference).


The same search worked fine with SeaMonkey 1.1.14 for Windows, i.e. I 
get all Mails I got on 22.01.2009 between 0:00 and 23:59 CET.


I first thought it could be a regression in trunk, but SeaMonkey 1.1.14 
for Linux shows the same disturbing behaviour.


Has anyone an idea, why it doesn't work as expected under Linux?

Bye

Bruno
