Paul, does spoofing your SeaMonkey as FF or IE help the situation??
Dunno, have never tried. How to?
Paul, when I examine the header of my message, I can see:-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11 not Firefox
whereas yours has:-
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11
Note the "not Firefox" on the end of mine. If people go to a website
which wants to display itself in a particular way, it will examine the
User Agent and look for, in most cases, either MSIE versions of Firefox
versions.
Yeh, I understand what spoofing is and why people do it.
If it doesn't find these option, and some others maybe, it might not
display anything or just a plain vanilla versions of the page. By adding
the "not Firefox" at the end, I can bluff servers into thinking I am
using Firefox.
To add the "not Firefox", which is enough to trick most servers, go to
the browser, type about:config in the address bar, then type user in the
filter bar, double click on general.useragent.extra.seamonkey to edit it
and add not firefox (or something similar) at the end.
Reboot....Job done.
I took the shortcut of restarting SeaMonkey, not my machine, and the
option was set when I returned.
But it didn't do a bit of good. SeaMonkey still doesn't know how to
print the page in question. So I reset the option.
Oh, well. This must be another situation, then.
Daniel
