No, the SeaMonkey (see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ ) files that we are referring to are located in /usr/local & /usr/bin. The OOo files are indeed located in /opt/openoffice.org2.0 (which is a bit odd). Today I also created a symlink just as Dan did with the same results. I even went so far as to completely uninstall Firefox (FF), as when "mozilla" is put in as the email program for Tools|Options|Internet|Email OOo was pulling up the FF browser as if it were the mail program. Then when I tried to send as email (with the mozilla option) OOo just spins its wheels for a few seconds the nothing. I then did a test by installing SeaMonkey in /usr/local/mozilla to see it that would have any effect - no luck. I'll try installing Thunderbird next to see if that will work (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/). I note that you are using Evolution as your mailer... evolution works w/OOo 2.0.4. What we are trying to figure out is why SeaMonkey is not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
