I fail to see any harm in the default "Enter search term, keyword, or web address". This appears whenever the address area is blank even if the page itself is not blank. > In mail/news: > Signature block (correct term?) now appears in lighter type > than body of the post.

The signature block is gray instead of black to alert you to the fact that the signature (and anything below it) will be removed automatically when replying to the message. The indicator for this is the dash-dash-space (-- ) on a line by itself at the beginning of the signature block. Not many versions ago, the capability was added to mail-news -- both Thunderbird and SeaMonkey -- to suppress the dash-dash-space for E-mail. As indicated in another reply in this thread, that capability depends on the preference variable mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator. If that is set "true", your signature block will not be gray and will not be removed when you reply to an E-mail message. Section 4.3 of RFC 3676, however, requires that the dash-dash-space indicator be present at the start of the signature block for newsgroup messages. > P.S.

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
