Thanks. 1) Yes it is, but it's my understanding that when you install SM 2, it makes a copy of your SM 1.x profile, so when you un-install SM 1.x, you may want to delete (or at least archive), one of the profile copies. 2) Create yourself a sig file and save it somewhere then, in SM have a look at Edit- MailNews group account settings, and, on the Account Settings page for the server, select Attach the signature from a file instead, and point to the file that you just saved. HTH OK, today I went ahead and removed v. 1.1.16 via Windows Set Program Access and Defaults. V. 2 seems to still work, but now Windows doesn't recognize it as an email program or browser -- if I go into Control Panel | Internet Properties, it's not available as a program that can be made the default. Similarly, if I go into SM's Edit | Preferences | Mail Newsgroups, the option Make SeaMonkey the default application for... has Mail (grayed out), News (available), and Feeds (grayed out). Clicking News grays it out with no further feedback, so I suppose that means it's now the default for news? But Windows already knew that. How can I restore Windows' belief that SeaMonkey is an email program? Don't know about this one, Paul. Been some time since I've had any problem with upgrading SM. Maybe someone else will drop by!

OK, I took the easy way, and it worked. Control Panel now lists SeaMonkey as an option for default email program. Still no listing for Composer as HTML editor, but I can live with that. Two other minor glitches: 1) SM now always prompts me on launch to accept it as the default for browsing, email, and news, even though it already is the default for all three. I'm tempted to check the box to tell it to quit nagging, but I know the next time I update Office it'll steal my settings, so I do want SM to check. I just don't want it nagging me when all is well. 2) The new installation created a second icon on my desktop even though there was already one for the same version of the same program. I deleted it. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

I also discovered that all my sigs were missing because they pointed to the new directory where they were not located instead of the old directory where they still resided. So I copied them into the new directory and they magically reappeared. Still, SM 2 seems to forget to add a sig when I forward a message, unless there's an option for that. I have to manually copy/paste it to forwarded messages, either inline or as attachment. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
