One work-around would be to right-click on the image name in the 
message header and save the image somewhere, then Edit as New to fix 
the message, then re-attach the image!



Yes, but that can be a lengthy process. Sometimes there are 5-10 images.
Initially, when looking at the message, one can see the attached image 
files, but they get lost in the shuffle going to New Message.

Re: Foxit Reader problem

Hello,

I uninstalled Acrobat and installed Foxit reader.  It works fine as a 
separate program to view PDF files, but there is a problem if I click

on a pdf file from a Seamonkey window.

It starts to download, but then freezes.  A popup will come up with a 
'Server Busy' heading. The message says: The application cannot be 
completed because [file name] (application/pdf object) Seamonkey program 
is not responding.


Then there are two boxes below that can be clicked.  One says Switch 
[which when clicked does nothing] and the other says Retry.  If Retry is 
clicked, it goes away for a few seconds then the original popup comes 
back. There is a Cancel button also, but that is grayed out.  I can't 
close the program after that without using the task manager. The task 
manager shows Foxit as being loaded, but if I kill that program I'm 
still frozen and have to kill Seamonkey also.


I tried adding Foxit to the helper applications but that did nothing.


Simply setting Foxit as the default file handler in Windows should be 
enough to automatically create the Helper Application listing in 
SeaMonkey.  FWIW, here are HA screens from my properly operating 
Foxit/SeaMonkey installation.

If you click the Edit button on that screen you'll get this:

Those are my settings also.

I just selected a message (which I knew had attachments) in my Inbox and 
selected Message|Edit Massage as New and the attached messages were 
still on the New message, so, I guess, all I can say is WFM in SM 2.0a1!!

Suite over components

2008-12-14 Thread Lester Caine
A few weeks back now I got so fed up with the Windows machine that I 
switched all the paperwork stuff to Linux. ( Mandriva 2009.0 but that is 
not critical )


Seamonkey works fine apart from a few quirks on hot keys which have been 
covered already, but increasingly I'm finding that the reasons for USING 
Seamonkey are being eroded. On windows things do not integrate together 
nicely, the Calendar and Address Book are still separated from one 
another and hot keying between links in messages and notes is lacking.


On Linux there are still a few rough edges, but the environment seems a 
lot more 'interoperability friendly', unlike windows? That said, I find 
that I still have problems with Seamonkey talking to other things, and 
the same with Firefox and Thunderbird. While KDE gives me a nice 'flat 
playing field' when it comes to integration. ( Although KDE4 is about as 
user friendly as Vista! :( )


I think I can understand why the drive to split up Mozilla came about 
since many developers do seem to be working on Linux rather than 
Windows, and the same applies across many projects. The Windows 
requirements are somewhat different to those of Linux, but I don't think 
that the current developments are being 'productive' as they could be? 
The Seamonkey development can't address the gaps left by the original 
breakup, and the drift to Firefox being totally isolated seems to be 
increasing? So are we reaching a point where a radical overhaul of the 
roadmap is inevitable?
