OK. Let's see... Firefox (linux) is a 9.4Mb download, SeaMonkey (linux) is 13Mb. Let's just suppose one want's to use Thunderbird as an email client.. that's 10.9Mb (linux) download. In any event, SM can easily be run as a browser only, but I seriously doubt that Russell only did that through all of his Netscape to SeaMonkey transitions. I reckon we'll never know as he's already opted to go off to some other M$ X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 3.3/32.846 land. If you may recall, Russell was the author of the "Seamonkey v2 RC - How to disable email feature?" in which I _think_ solutions were provided to resolve his issue. In fact, KristleBawl provide information on doing so. In the thread I also found some isues. At that point Russell could/should have filed a bug if the problem continued to be a problem for him. Me thinks that Russell has just posted a troll... no details are provided, the post smacks of someone that simply just wanted to find an excuse to move on. So perhaps we can do the same? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
