I too use SeaMonkey as a Web browser and Thunderbird for E-mail, RSS feeds, and newsgroups. I actively use three different SeaMonkey profiles, sometimes switching back and forth several times an hour. When I do that, I do not want to lose my current E-mail or newsgroup session. Why three profiles? One is specifically for banking and managing my investments; the related Web sites require that my preferences be set different from how I normally want them (e.g., the banks want me to accept all cookies, to accept popups, and to disable the Secret Agent extension). One is specifically for reading amateur fiction online; it has almost as many bookmarks as my general-purpose profile. And then one is my general-purpose profile. There is a fourth profile just for guests. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam, flames, and trolling from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
