Re: nntp newsgroup responses
Apologies in advance for my strong feelings on this subject... this got to me. begin soapbox A few observations as I exit; My response to the message in question was not related to the thread, but it was posted in the thread because it related to a message therein. The body indicated the specific poster I was asking the question of. the public post opened the response to others who might have information on my question Subjects are NOT related to message threading... unless of course for those who think subjects relate to threading and attempt to sort posts by subject The newsreader in subject of this newsgroup (seamonkey) has _zero_ need for quoting other that short quotes to identify the specifics of a specific response. I find it interesting that the vocal objectors to this point here are comfortable spending far more time, energy and anger in an attempt to ossify a practice that has not been necessary for years rather than learning and using the potential of this software, then introducing that to others and, ultimately, making all posts much easier to read and follow. Even google groups has understood the negative aspects of nntp quoting and taken steps to automatically remove them unless the user asks for them... and their threads meet the information needs of your demands. Like I preach .. QUOTE Since I'm not a member of your religion, I'll save you the minimal time that would have been needed to add me to your kill list and leave. You obviously feel you have the right to impose your rules on users who don't think and work as you do. By contrast, where I have strong feelings about using tolerance of patience in support forums, I don't feel I have the right to impose those requirements on other users. Intolerance of any kind in any support environment is a major hindrance to finding and providing help... I've been participating in support environments since the single user, 300 baud dial up computers in someone's bedroom in 1983 when there was a specific need for quoting but would have never been tolerated in the barf quantities of quoting used here, but, you are so vocal in your demands that I am sure you have a longer support history than I. Now, almost thirty years later it's amazing that the few nntp support forums remaining now seem to be dominated by rigid users making archaic demands to post using requirements that software improvements over those decades have removed the need to use. imho, it's not surprising that nntp support forums are disappearing.

When responding to nntp newsgroup posts, simply reply to the newsgroup post rather than using reply all In your case, it looks as if the listserve settings are such that responds only to the author of the message you are responding to unless you use replay all Sending to the newsgroup gets the message to all newsgroup participants including the author of the message you are responding to.

Re: Dealing with forwarded messages
I want to remove the bars The bars are there from two possibilities... either the marks were already in the message you are working with or the marks were generated when you quote a message when responding. In the former, since they are already in the message text, the only option I know of is to copy the original message, remove the remarks either manually or using a macro in a text editor, recopy, then paste into a new message. Since you are using the html editor, I have found that it's easier to remove the quote marks using an external text editor than sm's message editor. If they are there because you quote the message, turn reply quoting off, then just copy the portion of the message you want to include and paste that into the new message.

Re: Dealing with forwarded messages
message reply editor A couple of comments related to posting in plain text or html... Traditionally, nntp newsgroup forum responses should be in plain text only which is settable for each account in the mail and newsgroup settings. Unchecking compose in html should also clarify what is happening with your response messages. It's not very well known, but you can also toggle the reply message format by holding the shift key down when clicking reply ...i.e. if your setup is set to reply in html, doing this will start the plain text editor instead of the html editor.

Re: Dealing with forwarded messages
When a message is forwarded, there appears a vertical line on the left side I think Paul has identified the problem, but, to clarify what's happening; Check to see if there are characters in the message source of the message before it is forwarded... if you edit in html (your message edit toolbar will have font and other formatting options) those will be converted to the vertical bars you describe when you quote the original message or forward inline.

Re: How to limit number of Seamonkey instances?
Fascinating. Just out of curiosity, are we talking about a machine that runs that Quick Launch TSR (I don't)? Nope... have never used that option... (machines nowadays don't need it ;-) In my case, when SM fails to terminate (which it does from time to time), I can see it in the Task Manager but nowhere else and can't interact with it, but unlike your experience, its presence /does/ prevent another instance from launching. Very interesting... have never observed that behavior... good information. My primary computer that ends up with the multiple processes uses a core2 processor, so, that might be a factor, but, since I frequently dig into preferences and mail settings to answer questions and educate myself, my primary suspicions are there... i.e. something starts a sm process thread that escapes seamonkey's normal shutdown sequence.

Re: How to limit number of Seamonkey instances?
multiple Seamonkey task manager processes fwiw, over the years I've become practiced at checking task manager looking for multiple instances of seamonkey running, so, nowadays it's rare to find more than two running at the same time, but, in the past I have found as many as eight seamonkey processes in task manager with only one instance of seamonkey visible on the desktop or task bar. it's not known to me I understand not having experienced this since, at this location I have four boxes, all running XPPro which are regularly running seamonkey and this behavior is observed on only one of the machines. That said, I have looked at task manager on many machines at other location and found the same thing not to mention the many posts here asking about the same symptoms. It _appears_ to be related to some action being taken within the email/newsreader client or the mail and newsgroups settings, but I have been unable to manually recreate the problem. It is also noteworthy that this is currently happening on my primary computer and for years, I observed the same behavior on the box it replaced. if SM is running, I /cannot/ launch a second instance Note the details I have posted on this behavior... this does not happen when seamonkey is running, nor do I use a shortcut to switch to existing sessions of seamonkey visible on the task bar, it happens when a normal _exit_ of seamonkey does not completely shut down and leaves seamonkey visible in task manager long after it is exited. In that case, the next time seamonkey is launched, that launch does not detect the residual process that is visible in task manager and a second task manager process, with a new pid, is launched. From my observations, once that second seamonkey process exists, every shutdown of seamonkey that follows leads to another instance of seamonkey in task manager. The only reason I reboot nowadays... While not as radical as your intervals, I generally reboot every two to three weeks and use the computer as a central part of my business and life, so, I agree, this is a factor.

Re: Hard-to-describe Seamonkey mail question

A related tip for the mobile devices. Note that the results of sever deletion vary by platform. On a mobile pc running seamonkey, once you return and retrieve your messages on your main computer set to delete messages on server messages received on the mobile pc will remain in seamonkey. However, in os' such as windows mobile, after messages are deleted from the server, on the next email connection using windows mobile, the messages will be deleted from that device.

Re: How to limit number of Seamonkey instances?
multiple Seamonkey instances This is a known SM bug that cannot be reliably duplicated and has been an issue for years. With low tech users, the best way to address it is to suggest they reboot daily and keep seamonkey open rather than close it after each use. If the user is familiar with task manager, after seamonkey has been closed for a couple of minutes, task manager can be used to end process on all the remaining instances of seamonkey.

Re: Mail Newsgroups Inbox
Is there a way to move the ATT DSL folder above the Starband top folder? There might be other answers but an easy one is to copy the _contents_ of your Starband account into the ATT account folders rather than trying to move the primary account folders. There are a number of approaches such as creating a Starband folder in the ATT account and moving everything there or to copy the contents of each Starband folder into the same folder in the ATT account. Couple of cautions... backup first since you will probably be processing a lot of messages. Compact all folders before you start I'm not sure exactly how the sorting is handled, but I would probably compact them a second time after everything is moved to assure the sorts are correct.

Re: ZoomText and SeaMonkey
Your Operating System Windows XP Services Pack 3 Your Monitor size 21 inches Your Video settings (pixel size) 800 X 600 Seamonkey version 2.0.8 my preferred screen magnification is 10X thanks... that clarifies your need. It would help to get the ruler size height of a readable character on your monitor screen such as 1.5 inches The point or font sizes end up being dependent on other factors that determine the baseline for your display... i.e. if you were to change your display settings from 800x600 to 1600x1200, all the characters of the same point size would then be 1/4 the size after the switch. You seem to have a good handle on your setup, so, all I can do is to add a few thoughts; The windows font setting can make a major difference but while helping by increasing the size of text throughout the computer, many programs assume that the setting will be standard and cut off or hide text that is larger than the window it will display in. To experiment, would suggest displayproperties/settings/advanced/DPI/Large You can go to custom but I assume you will find that 150% and larger will lead to too many problems. If you don't have one, consider getting on of the Microsoft Intellimouse products. These have additional buttons on the mouse and ship with Intellipoint sofware that includes an excellent magnifier. You can then set one of these buttons to launch the magnifier which will appear centered around the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen. Additionally, when holding the button down, the scroll wheel varies the magnification and moving the mouse resizes the magnification box. Post specific questions and I and others will try to assist.

Re: compact folder
As with computer files, when you delete a message, it is not deleted, simply marked as deleted in order to save time. Deleted messages are copied to the relevant trash folder, so you might look there if it has not been emptied since the deletion. If you empty the trash the entire contents are permanently deleted. When you compact a folder, the entire contents of the folder are scanned and rewritten only if they are not marked as deleted. I assume (but don't know) that seamonkey rights the visible messages to a new file, then deletes the old file and gives the new file the same name as the old. If so, check the recycle bin, and, if the message is critical, it might be possible to use a file recovery tool to recover the file. If the file is simply re-written, the only recovery option would be to recover the file for the folder from a backup.

For example Total on email to NODUPE is a new one for me... will have to investigate that command further as it sounds interesting ;-) in addition to Arnie's steps, some other possibilities. set unique on Index on upper(email) to email The unique will index only the first occurrence of each email set, so, when the index is set, all dupes will be hidden. Since email addresses are not necessarily uppercase, the index statement will take that into consideration... ...then, additional problems arise... seamonkey's address book has two email fields, so, the dupes may be in different fields. Add to that that later duplicate entries may have additional or more valid information, and the potential for data loss arises. Even having deduped many millions of records during my programming life, I hate the process since there are so many ways for it to bite back, so, was glad to discover that someone at google seems to have found a better way.

Re: Address book combine?
hack Curious... what's the hack? combine two or more address books, eliminate duplicates, and note possible conflicts? I'm looking forward to seeing if there is a good mozilla solution for this as doing what you need has never been easy. That said, I converted my and my wife's contacts lists (each with about 1,000 entries) to google contacts since they offer free exchange sync and, as part of the conversion I was very impressed with google contacts duplicate entry processing. I make that statement from the perspective of a database programmer who worked with the frequent need to dedupe huge address lists. If I were faced with this need today, I would export both lists to csv format, import them into http://google.com/contacts then run the google contacts dedupe process and export them when finished.

Re: Google Maps and SM
Thanks for all of the responses. I'm beginning to think that it may be specific to the austin, tx sat image server. I duplicated the problem on a different computer running sm... the interesting thing is that the root problem is there but the symptoms are slightly different... Initially there appeared to be no problem, but selecting a view where the distance index (lower left) showed 2,000 ft, moving the view several ttimes resulted in the same slowdowns until effectively locked up. second computer; xppro sp2, sm 1.1.17 seamonkey cpu holds at 98% somewhat more mouse/cursor control but still slow, jerky delayed button/command button responses Will run some more tests.

Re: Google Maps and SM

Google Maps and SM
In addition to the google/seamonky search issues currently being discussed, I'm experiencing a serious problem trying to use http://maps.google.com (currently running 1.1.17 for stability issues) When a map comes up in satellite view, seamonkey essentially locks up This impacts not only seamonkey, the computer as a whole becomes unusable where the only option is to kill seamonkey using task manager, a real pita if I have other tabs open. I'm going to run a few tests to get more info and will report back. I have reported this to google for whatever good that might do.

Re: Google Maps and SM
I think it's there, but I can't see it (I see one unread message)... so, reposting; Seamonkey locks up when google maps satellite view is selected The maximum problems are observed when google maps is showing a detail area 4-5 miles across or less... for example, the problem is not there when the google maps default screen of north america in sat view comes ups. Experimenting with Task Manager shows that seamonkey's cpu demands are normal until the satellite view is selected, then it goes to 50% and stays there until the seamonkey process is killed using task manager. Doing anything out side of seamonkey then becomes difficult to impossile... for example, killing seamonkey using task manager is difficult since the cursor is almost frozen and keyboard command responses are intermittant.

Re: SM and iTunes
I don't think it is iTunes problem since it works fine with IE but not with SM. It is a problem with the apple web page that cannot handle the fact that you are not running ie, so, it takes the easy way out and simply stops. I've tinkered with this and attempted to find if it's possible without success and I think you will have better luck getting valid information from an itunes community site or tech support. Additionally, one of the big benefits of seamonkey over ie is that seamonkey is designed with the idea that it should not be able to run executables on your pc using commands issued from the website that you are visiting. This is in contrast to ie which is why that browser is used as a primary method to run malicious programs remotely. But I need iTunes to get the podcasts Jobs has been brilliant in making it stone simple to download podcasts via itunes to the point where many people think that itunes is the _only_ way to download many podcasts. In fact, almost all podcasts available through itunes can be downloaded directly using other methods including browsers such as seamonkey. Take a look around for the many other options including http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ which, imho, is the best option. Another option is to use itunes to subscribe to and download the podcasts directly. Hope that this information is of value.

Forwarding to iPhone, etc is a Major Problem
Message | Forward As | Inline gets you this header over the content: Yep... but, I am at the start of a month where my (low tech) wife is traveling with only an iPhone and iPad for email. I set up a rule on her account to automatically forward emails from a specific list of her correspondents to her GMail account and didn't catch the details pointing to major problems until she was packing to leave, so, I am left with a problem where the only option is to manually forward her email. Your manual Inline option works, but testing now shows that the only message filter option is to forward as attachment. That, it turns out, creates a major problem for iPhone, iPad and iTouch users... the built in apple iOS email client reports that it can't handle .EML file attachments. That leaves the traveler with only the option to use a web mail interface. In my wife's case, that is GMail and it turns out that GMail does a terrible job of handling .eml attachments... you can read the body of the message, but, unlike seamonkey and most (if not all) email clients, it does not display the original sender's address information. The header information is there, but virtually impossible for a low tech user to find, copy, then paste into the address field of a reply. I'll keep digging and report what I find... in the mean time, a filter option to forward inline is something to consider adding to future versions.

Re: edit with
thanks... the key is appreciated. To clarify since the need is a little different, the mozilla composer has been my only html editor since the early (netscape 1.x?) days and it's the ideal editor for html files, so, it's always set as the edit file association for all html files. With every project there always seems to be at least a couple of needs to switch to html source edit in order to tweak or do mass changes. In earlier composer versions there was a menu option to Open in external editor which was very convenient. With textpad (and I assume wordpad) I can leave the file explorer window open after opening the file for edit in composer, then rightclick the same file and selecting textpad to achieve this, but it's pretty kludgy compared to the menu option.

Re: SMTP problem -- who's at fault?
I keep getting a message saying a connection cannot be made to the SMTP server. most likely a configuration problem... each internet connection limits open smtp server access to _only_ those connected via the service that provides the server... i.e. using a RR server, their smtp server can't be used if connected via any other isp provider such as verizon and probably any other location than your home location. The normal solution nowadays is to use smtp authentication using your account's mail id and password. A quick and easy fix is to use the webmail interface provided by your isp until you get it sorted out. fwiw, Sending and receiving email are two completely separate operations... the only thing that connects them is your email client, so, pop3 working has zero bearing on smtp problems.

Re: cant position images, cant drag them around the page to position them?
images seem to stick together and i cant reposition them The simplest approach to get started is to add at least two carriage returns after each image... This will put them on sequential lines as well as make it easy to type text and descriptions for each image. Assuming you are using SeaMonkey's composer there are a number of editing options after you get the images unstuck, but, at the same time, it's important to grasp the understanding that the web is not a good place to force layouts since there are so many different computer configurations out there. some options are; image properties allows some control... i.e. if the image is in a line of text, setting the text to top/center/bottom or wrap (wrap works best with a lot of text per image) tables are an excellent way to position images. A great illustrator on how this can be done is to install http://irfanview.com then run irfanview's thumbnail view select a lot of thumbnails then rightclick them and ask irfanview to create an html page with the selected images. Once the page is created, you can open it in the seamonkey composer and both learn and do what you need to do. Think Picasa will do the same but don't have any experience on how clean the code it produces is. Hope that this information is of value.

Considing the Aged and Vision Impaired
A quick request for the hard working sm programmers and contributers since I at least partially fall into the Aged and Vision Impaired category. Ironically, using a large high resolution monitor (mine is a 23 LCD TV set at 1920x1080) creates a large number of font readability problems, and, over the years, I have learned how to deal with most of them. One basic step is to set the display properties/settings/advanced/DPI to Large size (120 dpi) Recently, even this has proven to be insufficient for my vision, so, I recently set it to a custom value of 150DPI. When I did this SeaMonkey presented me with a serious problem trying to use the Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings screen. This screen has no sizing options and, at the 150DPI setting the window exceeds the size of the screen. The default problem is that you cannot get to the OK, Cancel, Help buttons. The only option for me was to select the Move option to move the bottom edge of the window over to my second monitor. Then it get's crazy. SM remembers the screen position and the next time this window is opened, it opens with the buttons visible, but the top of the screen inacessbile. At that point, the only option is to remember that Alt-space brings up the Move menu, and M then allows you to drag the window to get to the top fields. The simple solution would be to assure that _all_ SM windows have scroll bars and sizing options. A reduced sized screen shot at http://bevhoward.com/stuff/images/OverSize.gif shows how the mail settings window is clipped when openen in the 1920x1080 monitor.

Re: URL links not active?
Not true - my wife send me a mail with an url. This url is *not* clickable. fwiw, I just got one of these emails that contained a fully qualified http url address and it did NOT form into a clickable link. I changed my view message body as setting to plain text and the text formed into a link. My assumption that if text within an html only was a url it would not form is incorrect. I am looking through the trash for that message and will report back.

Re: Tabnabbing: A New Type of Phishing Attack
Be aware of the fact that the first link in the op _executes_ the attack! While this page may be benevolent, it is deceptive and it does solicit a login!!! Beverly Howard ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
