Ed, I realize my comments aren't always appreciated in this part of town, but I ask you, realistically, what are the chances that the most recent edition of SeaMonkey that's worked well for you, when run concurrently with active virus and malware scanners, and isn't looking for trouble, is going to infect your computer. It's not a risk-free proposition, but IMO it is acceptable risk compared to the alternatives. This idea of upgrading to the latest version of anything at all costs is the Holy Grail of software developers, and fails to take into account the inherent need of developers to keep on developing. Half the people who will complain about this post are driving around without side airbags. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
