If you use a third-party character map program which lets you show Wingdings in Unicode, it will show the smiley face at U+F04A. Two third-party character map programs which come to mind: * BabelMap -- http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html * SIL ViewGlyph -- http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi_id=ViewGlyph_home You will already know that a code point can vary with the character set (codepage) selected. In a normal font like Arial, the Euro character "€" is at 0x80 in "Windows Western", 0x88 in "Windows Cyrillic", and U+20AC in Unicode. When you select Wingdings, Windows Character Map disables the "Character set" drop-down and forces use of the Windows "Symbol" codepage.

If you save that document as a .docx file, unzip the .docx file (it is a ZIP file with a .docx extension), and use a hex editor to look at the file "document.xml" in the unzipped .docx file, you will see that this smiley face character has been encoded as the 3 bytes 0xEF,0x81,0x8A.

U+F04A is in the Unicode Private Use Area U+E000–U+F8FF. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Private_Use_Areas=753773200 The Unicode Consortium has allocated the range U+E000–U+F8FF as a Private Use Area. The Unicode Consortium does not define characters in this range. "Normal" fonts like Times New Roman or Arial use character code points which have been defined by the Unicode Consortium. This is so you can change fonts without losing the text of the document.

Subject: "J" instead of Outlook's happy
face?
Hello.
Is there something I need to show these emoticons (not emojis)
correctly in SeaMonkey v2.40's e-mail client?
Thank you in advance. :) [old school 1 line ASCII arts FTW :P]
It is not an ASCII emoticon like ":)" is. It is a single
character in the Wingdings font.
It
appears the sender is trying to send you this character in
the Wingdings font (character U+F04A)
J
But
you are seeing this character instead (character U+004A)
There is a discussion of this issue at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/905813
Perhaps there is a Thunderbird add-on for this, as Richmond has
replied. But the closest I could find was this Firefox add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-page-fixer/
Details
The sender is using HTML to set the font to Wingdings for this
character..
In the Wingdings font, this character has the Unicode value U+F04A
in the Private Use Area.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/wingdings/nonunicode.htm
If the sender had sent the Unicode value U+F04A in the Wingdings
font, you would see the smilie. (That is what I did above.)
But when a symbol font is involved, Outlook sends an ANSI value
instead - in this case the character J (0x4A).

An example: "ç" might become "Г§", or even (with repeated drafts) "ГѓВђ “В§" (I'm not kidding!!) I mean: If I can write "ç" when composing (like I did right now), and just save the draft and re-open it, the reason for the gibberish shouldn't be the font, right? I normally write and send messages with these characters without any problem (as far as I know: Usually, no-one complains), it seems to happen only with very long messages which mix English and another language, which is why I suspect that SM 'guesses' each time a draft is saved -- and, oveerr dozens of 'saves', it gets it wrong part of the time. For a relatively long time, I was able to stop this behaviour by always choosing the "View | Text Encoding" before opening these drafts (and, many times, when I forgot to do that, gibberish appeared) but, lately, even when doing that, the gibberish still appears, and gets worse with each 'save': Perhaps there have been some 'tweaks' to SM's "encoding guessing" algorithms? Go to about:config [^1][^2] and make sure that the preference mailnews.force_charset_override is set to false. What you describe will happen with your own drafts when mailnews.force_charset_override is set to true. SeaMonkey does not need to guess the encoding of its own drafts. SeaMonkey writes the encoding in the "Content-Type" header of the draft. When you re-open the draft, SeaMonkey will recognize the encoding from the "Content-Type" header UNLESS the preference mailnews.force_charset_override is set to true. The only way in which I can make SeaMonkey not recognize the encoding of its own drafts is to set mailnews.force_charset_override to true.

And my "smooth edges of screen fonts" is checked, however, the problem remains. I assume, by your link, that it is necessary to check "custom" at the top of the Visual Effects tab, so I checked on "custom", however this setting will not hold! It keeps reverting back to "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer". Could this be what's causing the problem? If so, what can be done? My guess is that "custom" only remains when you choose settings underneath which are different to the Windows default settings. Firefox's privacy settings for remembering history work like this. Also, perhaps of note, I'm on Windows 7, and some programs are using antialiased fonts and others are not. And ClearType is on. Anti-aliasing can also depend on which font is used. Some fonts do not have any anti-aliasing. Other fonts have anti-aliasing at some font sizes and not at other font sizes. -- Kind regards Ralph ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

In the past I could have used a simple search-and-replace program like gsar to modify the file after install. Now with omni.ja that kind of thing is much more difficult. However, there is also an omission in the program. Before, I had a search-and-replace in place to add a line like this: pref(general.config.filename, mozilla.cfg); to the default config file. I was unhappy when I found that everything was moved into omni.ja and this had become impossible, but at that time it turned out that the program reads the entire contents of the directory default/pref after startup, and I could put a fresh .js file there after install and it would pickup that line. Now, I think that it should do the same for .css files found in the chrome directory. Then I could just put a custom .css there and all would be OK without having to fiddle with user profiles. I don't have the answer myself.

I have learned how to send a text message from the SM e-mail program. The problem is, the phone number reported to the person receiving the text message is 10 digits that are not my phone. I understand that my SM e-mail has no way t know my phone number. The text message is coming from area code 141 which appears to be the international area code for a phone in North America. My question is, can I change that number or is her cell phone provider generating the number? Not my area of expertise, I probably got the details wrong, but... You are probably using a gateway service -- some server that receives an e-mail, converts it into a text message and resends it through the SMS network. AFAIK, the sender of an SMS message is identified by essentially the same mechanism that CallerID uses -- that is, the sender's phone number is supplied by the *network*, not by the sender. I don't think the sender is allowed to supply any sender phone number it wishes. That is, I think sender phone numbers are not spoofable by anyone but a telephone company. The phone number the receiver is seeing is the number of the phone line the SMS forwarding service uses to connect to the phone service. So... there's nothing you can do about it on your side. This ability would have to be supplied by the gateway service, and they would need the collaboration of the phone company. Perhaps you can find a different gateway service that allow you to customize the sender's phone number. But I sorta doubt it. Thanks MCBastos. I use my ISP's e-mail server to send an e-mail to the phone number with area code of the person so it looks like xxx...@text.xxx.net. Somewhere in the process, it's gets the strange phone number. The '@text.xxx.net' is a service which converts emails into text messages. That service is the one which is generating the number. I have used a similar service in the past. If the recipient replied by text message to the generated number, then the service would convert the reply text message into an email to me. If you want to change the generated number, you will have to do a deal with the people who run the '@text.xxx.net' service. -- Kind regards Ralph ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

There has been a long standing bug with SeaMonkey. Drag a favicon to the desktop, have no instance of SeaMonkey running and try to connect via the favicon shortcut. If your system is like mine you end up with an error message stating the URL does not exist.. It does and SeaMonkey finds it right away.. except that that error message needs to be canceled at some point before you can use your desktop again. So.. a workaround was a add-on that kept SeaMonkey alive. Stayed in the taskbar, was unobtrusive.. worked great. UNTIL.. the latest 2 updates, they are not compatible with this add-on.. (keep alive or stay alive.. something like that) So.. ideally fix the bug.. or stop with the improvements that kill the add-ons!

COuld a poorly designed and/or implemented spam filter cause this as well? Email spam filtering will not cause this. A net nanny type web filter may block what you can see, but it will not say not available in your region. I have seen lists of countries that may be blocked in filters - based on a presumption of unusually high rates of spam - I think they were in filters designed for children where the children would be unlikely to have any need for access to those countries. The only spam I have received so far this week (phishing spam) has a bogus-Paypal URL which really goes to a Verizon customer in Dallas, Texas, USA. Filters to identify spam by URLs in the email, still filter only emails. They are not web browser filters; they do not prevent you pasting a BBC URL into your web browser. -- Kind regards Ralph ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Is there a way to make a Web browser region-neutral? Are these sites looking at the IP address or something in the browser identification? The sites are looking at your IP address. It is not your browser identification. Take your laptop and browser, and fly around the world from country to country. You will see it varies with where you are. I'm just curious, I don't want to do anything illegal, but if there is a legal way it would be nice. I don't have an example other than the BBC in UK did this when I went to look at a Doctor Who show - I am guessing that is a contract-thing where other regiond get delayed viewing. I get that - but it is what reminded me of this anomaly. That might explain it. In the past it has been a document related to the operation or repair of an old radio or piece of test gear - not likely a matter of modern video licensing.

It is caused by the way the web page has been written.
What you can do, when you are ready to fill out your e-mail address

Re: Multiple profiles in different user areas Win XP

Has the problem of upgrading from SM 1.18 to 2.2 with multiple profiles in different user areas in Win XP Pro been solved? Last time I tried to upgrade to SM 2.0 the profiles never upgraded right, and it took me hours to uninstall 2.0 and reinstall 1.8. I don't want to do that again. TIA Lance Lance, you mention the last time I tried to upgrade.. This implies to me that this was a second (or more) attempt to upgrade. If this is the case, be careful, because when you first tried SM 2.x.x, it would have made a copy of your SM 1.1.x profile, and then you may have deleted SM 2.x.x (but not removed this copy of the profile). Then, when you re-installed SM 2.x.x, it would have picked up this old, un-up-to-date (if that's English??), version of your profile. And when you, now, re-install SM 2.x.x, it will again pick up this old profile, i.e. before you re-install SM 2, delete the copy of your profile. *Be Careful*. At this stage SM 2.x.x will only pick up your default profile, which can be a problem, but the work-around is fairly simple...in the new SM, create the extra profiles, in their simplest, then copy/move the folders over from your SM 1.1.18 profile. HTH Daniel Does that work Daniel? I had somewhat of the same problem that Lance had by having my profile where SeaMonkey could not find it. My default Documents is on a different HD than the operating system and thus SeaMonkey 1.xx was on D. After the upgrade was complete nothing was transferred... I had a clean setup... Moving my 1.xxx stuff into 2.xx did not work as the format is different. In the end I had to reinstall 1.xx into its default place, then copy my backup into that... Then do a upgrade.. very convoluted and frustrating. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It may end up being a coin toss, I like the suite and have used it since day 1 but installing Version 2 gave me much grief. Perhaps some of that grief is still around to trouble me now. In hindsight.. my problem came from the fact I did not have the normal location for my profile, instead it was on my D drive, this confused SeaMonkey 2 as it could not find my profile to update..

Near the top of the list of Registered file types, you should see an icon with (None) for the extension and Internet Shortcut for the file type. Select that entry and then the Advanced button. 5. On the Edit File Type window, select Open under Action and then select the Edit button. 6. On the Editing action for type: Internet Shortcut window, carefully examine the path to SeaMonkey in the Application used to perform action area. Does the path point correctly to where you installed SeaMonkey? If there are any blanks in any of the folder names, the entire path -- including the seamonkey.exe -- needs to be enclosed in quotes. The quotes do not include the %1 at the end, which is separate from the path. If any of this is awry, correct the path; be sure to include seamonkey.exe at the end. 7. Conclude by closing each window by selecting its OK button. NOTE: If there is no entry for Internet Shortcut in step #4 above, you have a Windows problem. Let me know. Thank you David.

The page will in fact open.. and you will have to close the error message before the desktop becomes accessible to you. This seems to be a bit of a bug. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Fix some of the aggravating bugs.. please
I should be grateful for the upgrade that fixes security issues. But could someone not fix some of the really aggravating bugs. Specifically when you use desktop icons (URL Shortcuts) to launch SM you have to suffer a windows error message.. can not find file... are you sure you typed it correctly... This has been there since 2.0 FIX IT (please) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It seems that -- marks that SM puts above the name of the sender or perhaps part of the signature causes SM to NOT include anything past that point.

SeaMonkey update brings error message about not finding URL
Since upgrading some of my desktop URL's will bring up an error message about SM not being able to find my URL... did I type it correctly.. The page will open moments later but the error message remains until accepted. Almost like the SM is not waiting long enough before deciding if the url is valid or not. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The message is from Windows and states .. Windows cannot find 'http://www.x. But this is since upgrading to 2.1. Those desktop shortcuts have worked for a long time with both V2.0 and since v1.xx came out ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
