I have now turned off the automatic upgrade notices. You seem to have set the program to do what you want it to do, so from where I sit it looks like the problem is solved -- as long as you remember to check manually from time to time (Help | Check for Updates). In my experience, setting SM to check weekly (not daily) gets me one notification a week if a new version is available; I don't get repeated nags. I find this tolerable; YMMV. I would welcome upgrade notices via email. Since nobody keeps track of who downloads and installs the software, much less maintaining a database of user emails, that's not gonna happen. Sorry. I don't speak for the SeaMonkey project, so perhaps the developers would be willing to set up an automated email notification option. But based on how I've observed this project over the years, my guess is no. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
