Oh boy, if not using "Select Addresses", a user is missing a major advantage of SeaMonkey Mail over Thunderbird. The Select Addresses screen includes on the right, a list of all recipient addresses - a list that is invaluable for managing multiple addresses for emails. The list collects and shows all addresses a user selects from a variety of address books and when the list is all fine, one click on "OK" transfers them to the subject email's address area. Seeing all address in one list enables visual checking and editing, plus the list can be long, I frequently show 30 addresses at a time. In addition to using Select Addresses and its list for addressing new emails, it has a handy reverse use; the viewing and editing of addresses that appear after clicking on Reply All. -- JohnW-Mpls _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
