OK, I'll try to answer this in a civil manner... First, yes, Seamonkey does assume that you are going to use its integrated e-mail client, instead of checking what is the "default e-mail client" in the Windows settings. Since the main point of using Seamonkey instead of Firefox is exactly the e-mail integration, this is not an unreasonable assumption. However there are a few people who prefer the Seamonkey browser to Firefox but intend to use other mail clients. There is a way to change the Seamonkey behavior, although it's a hidden option. You can find the instructions here: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/browserfaq/mailto Now, I gather that you tried changing to Firefox and ran into problems, because Firefox couldn't detect your existing installation of Seamonkey. Since you claim to be using SM 2.0.x, I think it's likely that the Firefox guys haven't updated yet their import tool to account for the changes in SM 2. There should be a bug open for it... Bookmarks are easy to bring from SM to FF -- it's just a matter of copying one file, bookmarks.html, from the Seamonkey profile to the Firefox profile -- but things like passwords are more complicated. There's an extension that solves it. It's called Password Exporter. You can get the modified-for-Seamonkey version in Philip Chee's site: http://xsidebar.mozdev.org/modifiedmisc.html#passwordexporter I don't know if you need it to import the passwords back to Firefox, but if so, you can get the official Password Exporter for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848 -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
