If Firefox/Thunderbird are harbingers of what's to become of SM due to
the SM team not being able to maintain their own code content for
functionality, then I'll just stick with SM 1.1.18 and call it good -
like some enterprise users I know that still depend on Netscape. I've
tried to get those users to upgrade from NS to SM in the past, I'm not
really sure I have a reason to do that any longer.
No I don't think so. Isn't the point of the SeaMonkey project to
reintegrate the split projects into a workable suite? I would suggest
giving it some time. It works very well for my personal use. For
business use it may take a while longer.

No, Lee, the point of the SeaMonkey Project is (or should that be "was")
to continue the development of the Mozilla Suite, which was abandoned by
Mozilla (org or com or whatever) once Firefox and Thunderbird had become
established.
Now, as SM is a volunteer enterprise, I've got no problems with the team
taking the "Open Source" FF and TB code and incorporating them as part
of the suite (no need to re-invent the wheel, here!!), but, IMHO, SM
Suite should never have to become FF&TB plus a few bits and pieces.
And, Lee, for what it's worth, rather than just siting back bitching, I
now intend to assist the SM development as much as I can. Previously,
the web account I was on and, even more so, being on dial-up, restricted
me from helping but now that I've gone wireless, I have a greater
ability to help out with smoke-testing (whatever that is) new releases
and dual-booting Win7 and Mandriva Linux, I hope I will be able to do
some cross platform comparision work, just as you do!
Daniel
Bravo, Daniel. First encouraging words I've heard since 2.x was released!
