Not sure, but we had a number of changes to the cookie subsystem, possibly also ones that make it more correct or whatever influences this. Also, why does this setting make a difference between clicking a link to open in the same window vs. opening in a separate tab or window (which worked in SM 2 RC1 all along)? No idea, you probably need to ask the website designers.

SeaMonkey 1.1.17 instability
Hello. I am running Ubuntu 8.04, which is the latest LTS version of Ubuntu. The latest version of SeaMonkey, that is available for this version of Ubuntu, from the Ubuntu repository, is SeaMonkey 1.1.17 My experience of this version of SeaMonkey, is that it consistently crashes. If I leave one or more browser windows open, and lock the computer screen, and walk away, and come back later, SeaMonkey can be relied on to have crashed. From what I understand, with MS Windows 95, that operating system would run for 29 days (I think it was), and then it was supposed to crash. SeaMonkey cannot run for anywhere near that length of time. Sometimes, maybe a few hours, sometimes, maybe a day or two, sometimes, if lucky, a few days. But, not much longer than that, very often. With gxine, I found two web sites (one being the 2009 World Masters Games web site), that would cause a system crash, every time the web site was visited. The other web site is a loony political party web site, that I found. SeaMonkey would open many pop-ups, that I cannot prevent, and then the system would crash. One of the pop-ups that was opened, that I saw, just before bthe syetm crashed, was gxine. I removed gxine from the system, and that got rid of the system crash problem, from those two web sites. But, SeaMonkey is still completely unstable, on this computer running Ubuntu 8.04. Does anyone else have this problem? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..

But, SeaMonkey is still completely unstable, on this computer running Ubuntu 8.04. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't use Ubuntu but I do use Seamonkey on Linux for hours a day and the crashes I've experienced are almost always caused by plug-ins. In my case, I use 64-bit seamonkey and the crashes were almost always caused by the 32-bit Adobe Flash plug-in, which I was using via nspluginwrapper. Once the native 64-bit Flash plugin came out that basically eliminated the crashes. (I've also have Java-related crashes). If you have gxine opening then it sounds like perhaps embedded media or plug-in related. I use the gecko-mediaplayer plugin (as opposed to mplayerplug-in or calling external helper apps) and it seems to work alright; at least it doesn't crash for me. (I don't use nspluginwrapper at all now, it's not even installed) Other causes for crashes I've experienced have been some versions of KDE4 (where all gtk+ apps crased randomly, perhaps related to my installed gtk-engines/themes or something) In general, though, normal everyday use for me is fine and it does not crash. Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit? Have you tried uninstalling plugins etc? I am using 32-bit. I don't have Flash installed (I won't have anything to do with it), and I do not have Java enabled for SeaMonkey. I try also to avoid having anything to do with Java. When I leave SeaMonkey running and it crashes, as far as I am aware, it is not using any plugins. Two of the web sites that I access, in one of my browser windows (a particular bookmark set includes the two web sites), auto refresh, one about every ten minutes, the other, I am not sure of the frequency. I have not been able to find how to stop the auto-refreshing and thus how to instead use only manual refreshing. One web site is an online news web site, and the other is a weather observation web site. The weather one is the one that auto-refreshes at ten minute intervals. But, that auto-refreshing, should surely not cause the application to crash I use GNOME rather than KDE, although I have KDE applications installed (I think that it is a KDE version of solitaire, or patience, that is the only one that I can handle; a nice, simple, single card dealing game).

I'm looking for a way to allow someone to review these emails without needing to install and use Seamonkey. If this method would retain attachments in their original formats, that would be even better... I'm not sure SeaMonkey and/or your computer could handle a batch of thousand emails this way, but if it is applicable for you to break the batch into smaller size batches (say hundred emails per batch) - you could try the following: * Compose a new message; * Select a batch of messages into the thread pane and drag them into the Attachments area of your new message composition; * Save the the message as a draft and close the composition; * Select the saved draft and make sure you have Display Attachments Inine enabled; * Hit Reply and you should get a new message with all attached messages quoted inline its content (you may copy and paste it to a text file). For the last step I've first tried to use Forward - Inline to avoid the quote markers, but then the message attachments stayed as such in the new message. I guess one could easily post process the result to remove leading or from every line. Note, the size of a batch SeaMonkey and your computer could handle this way greatly depends on the size of the messages involved. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'm looking for a way to allow someone to review these emails without

If this method would retain attachments in their original formats,
that would be even better...
Seamonkey mails are ALREADY stored as text on your hard drive. The
graphical interface displays them as separate folders and messages.
Search your hard drive for a folder matching *.slt (without the
quotes). That folder is where your Seamonkey profile is. Open that
folder, and navigate down through the Mail folder, and the folder inside
that (named for the email account through your ISP). Inside that folder
you'll find a collection of things, which will vary depending on how
you've created subfolders inside your mail window.
The file 'inbox' (with no extension on it) is the text file which holds
the messages of your Inbox. The file 'inbox.msf' is an index for the
first file.
If you've created subfolders in your Mail window Inbox (for example,
'Keep'), messages kept there are in subfolders of your Seamonkey mail
location in the same way as Inbox. There's a folder called 'Inbox.sbd'
(inbox subdirectory) in the same place as the 'inbox' file. Inside that
Inbox.sbd folder is the text of the messages in your Inbox's subfolder
('Keep' and 'Keep.msf'.) If you have subfolders of 'Keep' in your Mail
inbox, you'll see a 'Keep.sbd' folder name, and files inside there. This
pattern continues down as far as you nest folders in your Mail Inbox.
Wherever you find a file name ending in *.msf, there's a file of the
same name with no extension on it. Simply copy any file with no
extension off to a USB flash pen or CD/DVD, and anyone can view the
contents with a text viewer.
That sounds pretty simple!
What happens to email attachments? Are they embedded in these master text files?

In previous SM releases I could do a custom install and not install the email feature as I prefer to use another email client. With Seamonkey v2 RC's custom install there's no option to omit the email component and now every time I click on an email link in SM it's asking me to setup my Seamonkey email service. How can I get rid of this and have my email open in the application I prefer? I'm using XP, but assume this issue exists with Vista as well. Thanks Russell Russell, it is my understanding that as SeaMonkey Suite includes a mailnews agent, SeaMonkey's first mail call will always be to it's inbuilt mail agent. If you've been using just the browser portion of SeaMonkey and getting it to call another, separate, mail agent, I'd be interested to here how you achieved that!! He dismissed the mail-part n the Seamonkey setup, it's that easy. The problem is that Seamonkey 2.0 does not allow that and by default handles mailto-links internally. I never tried that and I'm unsure if it works but maybe those preferences could help Russel: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.protocol-handler.external.(protocol) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.protocol-handler.app.(protocol) regards Martin I just tested on a Win2KPro VM I see what Russell is referring to. In the test profile I've not set up the email client (2.0rc1) and to test I also set MS Outlook in the system to be my default email client. I then when to: http://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss/ and clicked on disc...@mozdev.org. Rather than SeaMonkey launching the prefered (for this test case) system email client, I get the SeaMonkey Account setup wizard. Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091007 SeaMonkey/2.0 I then did the same in FireFox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 and that _did_ try to open an Outlook mail window. Note: so that folks don't get too excited, I also tested the same using Thunderbird (3.x) as the default email client. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090925 Lightning/1.0pre Shredder/3.0pre Out of curiosity I then installed 1.1.17 (complete) and the same problem occurs there as well, so it's not just 2.0(x) that does not allow using an alternate email application. Note: I'd never encountered this before as I've always just had SeaMonkey set as my default email client for as long as I can remember. I beg to differ. In my office, I installed the Browser only component of Seamonkey 1.1.8. I need to use Outlook for the office Exchange Server. If I click on a mailto: link, it correctly launches Outlook. Of course, since the Seamonkey mail/news client isn't installed it really doesn't have a choice, does it? -- Jaime A.
