In the last few days, I've caught up on about two weeks of posts in
m.s.seamonkey and m.general, and somewhere, in those several hundred
posts, there was a post mentioning files and folders in SM's cache
folder, with names like along the lines of _CACHE_001_, _CACHE_MAP_, and
folders named (hexadecimally) 0 to F
Unfortunately, after re-reading that message, I didn't re-mark it as
"Unread" so that I could easily find it, if necessary.
From what I read in the post, someone (I think NoOp) said they were
caused by Windows and to just delete them, and not worry about it. So,
last night, after closing SM, I deleted the Cache folder. Tonight,
before I had started my SM browser, they were all back!
That thread was in reference to 'Cache.Trash' files, not the standard
'Cache' files:

As I understand it, in Windows, when SM or FF experience a session
crash/failure, the existing cache is written to cache.trash. This
apparently was to assist in preserving the cache.

Hang on....as I understand it, NoOp, e-mail and irc files are not
written to cache, just files required to display a web-site in the browser.
If these files are already written to cache, if a crash occurs why do I
need them re-written somewhere else?? All I should need is a listing of
the sites that were open in the browser at the time of failure, so, when
re-started, FF/SM could re-create my browser screen, either by using the
files in Cache *or* re-downloading the files from the sites if expired.
So why the double up??
