Install it NOW!

Where is Tab "X" addon?

[stan]

There's a really nice and very simple addon that places an "X" in the 
upper right corner of each tab header that can be

 used to terminate a tab.  I can't find it.

Wouldn't it at least find one for the default profile?


I now understand all the complaints about Vista.  Can't even get a My

Help, please.

Finally got SM running fine on Acer with Vista. Basically copied

Current SM 2 nightlies already include the rendering and JavaScript

It works fine in Samonkey2.0 alpha, feel free to test in SM1.1.x

true, true...



Anyway, hence the desire to have the default display type configurable on a per
server basis. The only explanation for the absence of such a feature might
appear to be that the authors of SM2 are happy to use the HTML setting for
everything, which surprises me.

Fortunately, it seems from the thread "Is there an allow_html_temp addon for
SeaMonkey?" that the situation is improved in the latest nightly builds of SM2,
though it falls short of being able to configure the default display setting on
a per server basis.


Many settings have that shortcoming that they cannot be be set on a 
per-account basis too, e.g. one cannot choose the number of characters 
to wrap plain-text-messages independently (not even for news vs. mail)

Looks like there is pretty much room for improvements left there ;-)

Yes, it is, we cannot release a stable SeaMonkey release without a

That said, we'll have a first beta of SM2 in the next few weeks, a 
second beta a few weeks later and then a final another few weeks later.


We should be on the way now and pick up a good drive towards final. It's 
a bit unfortunate that the duration between Alpha 3 and Beta 1 grew 
significantly longer than expected, but things should be moving more 
smoothly from now on.
Unfortunately I can't talk in real schedules right now, as there's one 
large feature for the mail backend (indexing all data to allow for fast 
and easy search across all messages and addresses) is being worked on 
still, and that feature is what's pushing out Thunderbird and SeaMonkey 
beta release dates right now.


Robert:

Thanks. Will this indexing get rid of the annoying feature where a cross-posted 
news message that is read in one group is not seen as read in another?

Only if you have the PC version of SM.
In the Mac version, Preferences is under the 'SeaMonkey' menu drop-down.

Or, you can always press Command-comma and the Preferences window shows 
up...

The SM2 default theme is fine except for the unread post icon. I just do 
not see the point of having the green arrow so muted that you (or at
