Oh, I agree with that. <g> However, if you want your hotmail mail, you may have to take some 'extraordinary' steps. After all, it is Microsoft (the Home of Internet Explorer) you're dealing with. > I posted our issue in > http://www.windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=3a053e16-fcfe-4396-a2b4-04bd3db0585f > Ok, let's see what kind of responses you get. > I also saw a couple of other people's posts and support replied that > SeaMonkey is unsupported which is bad: > [delete dupe link of above] > http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=abc463ef-70c4-4cf5-bd8c-ea76b2268e96 Not much help there. "However, the current version of Firefox DOES support the new Hotmail. " That's a misplaced statement; it should read "the current version of Hotmail refuses Firefox older than 3.0." and refuses SeaMonkey, and refuses every browser except a select few... you get the picture. All it would take would be for a Microsoftie to add a few more strings to the sniffer JavaScript. Should take five minutes .. *if* you could find a responsible person in Redmond. It's like you calling up your ISP asking for email config help with SeaMonkey or Thunderbird or Eudora or ... you get the stock answer "we only support Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail." But naturally, any email client will work .. they just don't have scripts for them. > We need to fight them to support SM v2! ..or "support no specific browser; use 'em all!" Try adding the string "NOT Firefox 3.6.8" to your useragent setting. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
