Re: Getting back to 2.49.5, but for how long ?
NFN Smith wrote: Don Spam's Reckless Son wrote: I find 2.53.x levels slower than 2.49.x levels, but - as you say - compatible with more websites. My 2.53.5 has an unfortunate tendency to lock up one of my processors if I visit certain websites. The only way out is to quit the program, restart and then "Restore Previous Session". Of course I lose my "Private Browsing" session. I'm having good performance with 2.53.* In 2.49.x (and several versions before that, and I don't remember how far), I had problems, where if I leave Seamonkey open overnight, the next morning, there's a lot of sluggishness, and where active memory usage is often in excess of a GB. Sometimes I was seeing as much as 1.5 GB, and I think I've seen nearly 2 GB once or twice. However, with 2.53.* those problems are considerably less. Leaving Seamonkey open overnight, I rarely see too much above a GB, and even then, performance degradation is much less. Before, 2.53, a restart was essential. Since 2.53, a restart isn't a bad idea, but by the same token, Seamonkey isn't unusable, either. For years (I'm up to 2.53.6), I've seen memory usage creep upward as long as the program is running, and it often reaches two or three GB, sometimes even four, if I watch streaming videos. It doesn't seem to matter where I watch them; SM never releases the memory when it's done. My cache is set to "let SeaMonkey manage" it, but clearing it doesn't release the memory either. Same for "clear private data" -- SM acts as if it's forgotten all that stuff, but Windows Task Manager shows the RAM still in use and allocated to SM. The only way to free memory is to close the program and restart it. Does that count as a "memory leak" in the traditional sense of the term? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The same principle applies to abortion clinic bombers -- those people get arrested and prosecuted for killing and injuring, not for their conservative beliefs. Nobody cares what they believe in the privacy of their own hearts. But in both cases the criminals whine about how unfair it is that they should be charged and prosecuted for killing and injuring people, based on the familiar legal principle of IOKIYAR.

Re: Importing Entries into Mailing List
Cecil Bankston wrote: Is there any way to import all the entries in an address book into a mailing list without having to start typing the names or addresses on each line of the list? Yes. Open the global address book (Window | Address Book or CTRL-5). Select the specific address book under which you want the mailing list to appear, click the "New List" button on the toolbar, and give it a name. You don't have to add any addresses at this point. Once you have a target for your copying, go to the source address book and select all (click any entry and do CTRL-A). Drag and drop to the mailing list. Although this looks like a move, you can't actually /move/ addresses to a mailing list because they have to exist simultaneously in the address book proper. Instead, SM will copy them, leaving the originals intact in place. Even if you create the list under one address book and the entries come from a different address book, SM will still create copies in the list and leave the originals in place (it won't move them). However, in this case, it will also create copies of all list entries in the parent address book of the list (because entries cannot exist in a list without also existing in the address book). So it's probably wisest to create the list under the same address book as the entries come from. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

What happened to its threading branches? :( Having seen that information, posts by GerardJan are considered to be spam on this group and are filtered - after a delay of several hours - on the server. No idea whether a script is used or if the moderation is done by hand. Threads like this one are also not particularly welcomed by the moderator, that might explain why one of your postings (if I understood the sender-description) vanished. This is a Mozilla-Help Forum, although I agree that posts vanishing is of interest. Yes, there are certain senders that have gotten onto Chris Ilias's $#!+ list, and all their postings, no matter how helpful or innocuous, are routinely deleted from the newsgroup. I should know -- I posted one message back in November that he didn't like, and ever since, everything I send, no matter how I alter my name and sig, are deleted. I've even tried using a VPN to change my IP address, but somehow he detects me and purges the message. Since it takes several hours, I must assume he's running the filter manually, and I can't imagine how he has the time to bother. No life, I guess... And once you get on the $#!+ list, there's no way off -- he doesn't reply to emails either here or off-list. So if you want the full NG unsabotaged by his petty vindictiveness, you have to read it though Google Groups. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
