If I go to google and select allow for session and use for all, there will be an entry in the cookie manager showing this rule. If I close SM and open again, the rule is gone and I have to manually set the cookie permissions for google again. This is absolutely new behavior. I have been using SM since it was mozilla, and ever since session cookies were introduced, I have been doing things more or less the same way. Even if I manually add a rule in the data manager, it is not there after I close and reopen SM.

Is it possible to adjust the width of the sidebar's vertical

There's no clean way that I'm aware for the SM default theme
since it
uses system scrollbars but this should work for any themes that
style
their own scrollbars like Modern or a number of others:
scrollbarbutton {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;

max-height: 10px;

Note: You can change width/height to your liking and it only works
cleanly with CSS3 versions of SM.
Thanks much! I'll try this tomorrow after some sleep and an eye

Awesome! Thanks so much.
One odd thing:
http://edmullen.net/temp/cap_scroll.jpg
Notice the area under the scrollbar. It should be all gray but only
the original default width is gray - the area to its right is white.
I poked around with the DOM Inspector but couldn't figure out
anything.
Hmm, using the values I detailed above, here's what I'm seeing:
http://projectit.com/multimedia/image/gif/sidebar.gif
Are you using the SM Modern theme?
Yes, Modern theme. But! My original query arose from my annoyance
that the sidebar default scrollbar is too narrow ... narrower than the
main window's. And too small for my liking. Here are my parameters
based on your input ...
scrollbarbutton {
width: 15px;
height: 10px;
max-width: 20px;
max-height: 10px;
background-size: contain;
}
So, enlarging the width to 15px solved my main complaint. The sidebar
scrollbar is now (apparently) the same width as the main window's.
But, something in that CSS isn't altering the underlying background
... or something. The DOM Inspector is, to me, highly impenetrable
God bless you if you can figure it out.
ah, for that, this should work:
scrollbarbutton {
width: 15px;
height: 10px;
max-width: 20px;
max-height: 10px;
background-size: contain;
}
slider {

As an aside, if you ever want to change the size of the content window
scrollbars, you'll need to add the above styles to your userContent.css
file.

Message reply on newsgroups
Hi all and many thanks for SM and the help which is given. My problem is that on another newsgroup if I hit reply I get a blank screen with the correct header. On this newsgroup I get a full quote of the message which I wish to reply to. How do I get the first newsgroup to behave in the same way as this one? tia -- Sandy Morton On the bicycle island In the global village ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Interviewed by CNN on 28/11/2012 20:28, Sandy told the world: Hi all and many thanks for SM and the help which is given.

How do I get the first newsgroup to behave in the same way as this one? This is actually not a per-group setting, but a per-server setting. Go to Mail Newsgroups Account Settings, locate the account for the newsserver you want to modify, go to the Composition Addressing subfolder. Tweak the settings there to your heart's delight. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...

[Linux] Disk space msg limit causes missing email
SM 2.14 linux (32bit 64bit). I cannot reproduce on SM 2.14 Windows. I have a POP3 account that I had set the download limit to 1024KB: Edit|Mail Newsgroups...|account|Disk Space|To save disk space...|Messages larger than 1024KB and one message today is 1.1MB. So I click on the message and get the the standard 'msg is truncated, click to download the rest', I do so and SM2.14 downloads the rest of the message. Unfortunately, unlike in earlier versions, once I've downloaded the remainder of the message, the msg is blank basically doesn't exist. I tested this across 3 different linux systems (32 and 64bit) and the result was the same. The only way that I recovered (as I knew the message was still on the POP3 server) was to shut down SeaMonkey, delete the corresponding folder .msf and popstate.dat file, reset the 'Messages larger than 1024KB' to Messages larger than 2024KB' and then right click on the account select 'Get Messages for account' to get the message. So, after all of that; can anyone else reproduce? If so then I can submit a bug report w/verification. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Adding an Address to the Address Book
Mister Moose: What has happened to the Add Sender to Address Book option in SeaMonkey? It has simply disappeared from the menu options when I right-click on an email header. Right-clicking on a 'From: ' header in the header pane shows still the option 'Add To Address Book...' on my SM 2.17a1. Why was it removed? I used this feature often! If the 'From: ' is your own name, then you have the option 'Edit Contact...' instead of the above mentioned option. Practical, IMHO.
