Note this was with SM 2.1a2, but I expect this to apply to SM 2.0.7 as well. I normally have my addressbook indexed on the Name column. The only other column I normally have displayed is the e-mail address. So I clicked the little squiggle line in the top right, ticked Screen Name, sorted on Screen Name, then un-ticked Screen Name (so I was back to my normal two column display) and the list stayed as it was when I had sorted by Screen Name selected. Had to click on the Name column header to get things sorted by that column again. Is it possible you've done something similar?? Daniel What I have is a block symbol that I assume is the same thing as your squiggle, and I tried that back and forth until they were back in order... except for the 2 lists... that I use the most [an A-list and B-list], which are reversed. The A-list is a group of friends that I write daily and I named it that, so that it would be first and highlighted when I open the address book. However, now the B-list of business contacts is listed first... and I can't find a way to change it. Far as I know, A should still come before B. ;) I don't understand why the compose window doesn't show the same thing as my address book, and can't see what I could have done to change it. Not saying that I didn't... but can't find it now. :) I'll keep fooling with the Screen Name switch and see if it shakes out. Thanks Daniel for checking, we had the same address book setup... Name and e-mail, so if yours is working, I won't give up hope I can get mine to change back somehow. It may be something in my Walnut theme. bj chicagofan, are you saying that if you clicked Compose and then clicked Address, in the left half of the screen, you get all your contact names and email addresses listed. In the top right of that section of the screen, at the same level as the Name and Email column headers, there is another little Icon, which, if you click on it, gives a listing of the columns you can have displayed. Select another column heading to display, then click on that column header so your address book is indexed according to the entries in this, new, third column. Now click on Name and the addressbook will be indexed according to what you have as the name for the email address. Clicking on the Name reverses the display orderwell at least it does for me! Daniel I'm saying that clicking on Name... the compose address window IS in name order... EXCEPT FOR... the B-List has been inserted FIRST on the list... although my address book is correctly sorted by Name... alphabetically. B does not come first in the alphabet to my knowledge. ;) Can not get it to change by switching. :( Guess I'll have to delete the list, and create another or leave it out. bj I did, at one stage, have a group for my Family members with-in my Addressbook, and it just listed in its correct place, under F for Family, but then I didn't re-index my listing. Sorry, cannot help, bj. Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

This just makes no sense to me, and I've never had a problem until this last update. Guess I'll go look for a 2.07 bug filed on it, since I don't think there's anything I can do to correct this.

Thanks Bill, but my problem is not with typing addresses; it's getting the Compose address window to show the addresses *in the same order* as my Address Book has them. I don't know why they are different now. :\ bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
