Clearly your: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613724#c7 response indicates that you still seem to think that this is a SeaMonkey issue rather than an issue with properly configuring your GNOME desktop. So I'll repeat: this is *not* a SeaMonkey issue, but rather an desktop configuration issue. (PEBKAC) As you've already discovered, properly setting your desktop preferred applications settings (Ubuntu: System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader|Custom/whatever) to a path/system setting for SeaMonkey works. This demonstrates that the issue is with your desktop settings and *not* SeaMonkey. Let me give you a few examples/whatif's: 1. I run SM from a /home folder on several machines (Ubuntu 8.04, 10.04, 10.10). Using your "example" won't work for me. Instead I need to add the full path to my SM installation folder and use: /home/<username>/<seamonkeyfoldername>/seamonkey -compose On others I run SeaMonkey2 from a ppa provided by Joe Lesko [1] and simply use System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Mail Reader|SeaMonkey 2.0|seamonkey2 -mail 2. What if your preferred email application were something other than SeaMonkey? You'd set your email preferences as above only use the path to that particular email client. Point being is that your issue has *nothing* to do with a bug in SeaMonkey, but instead is due to your failure to grasp the fact that you lack the understanding necessary to set your desktop settings to use whatever email client that you wish. [1] Using Ubuntuzilla is, IMO, just plain silly. Ubuntuzilla is nothing more than a set of scripts that install Mozilla products in system directories. You'd be *much* better off (again IMO) installing SeaMonkey: 1. Directly into a home folder (/home/seamonkey) and running it from there. Or: 2. If you wish to use a system SeaMonkey, add Joe Lesko's repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file - or add: https://launchpad.net/~seamonkey2/+archive/seamonkey2 via $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:seamonkey2/seamonkey2 and then install seamonkey2 I'd recommend that you just install via your distro repository were it not for the fact that the Ubuntu SeaMonkey maintainers can't seem to get their act together and still haven't backported the lucid fixes yet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey/+bug/575160 [seamonkey 2.0 crashes with 'RenderBadPicture' diagnostics] Now *please* go and close out https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613724 If you need further help understanding why please do not hesitate to ask in this thread & I'll be more than happy to provide additional info/instructions. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
