DoctorBill change your user agent to Firefox: http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ OK. I clicked the link and installed the xpi. Do I do anything else or is the problem fixed ? DoctorBill It's been a while since I installed the UA switcher, but if I recall correctly, it doesn't come with any Firefox user agent strings installed. You'll need to add some yourself. You can search the web for lists of user agent strings for various browsers, then just create the ones you want to emulate, like Firefox 2.0 or whatever. There may be an easier way that I am not aware, but try this: After installing the User Agent XPI file, launch the browser and go to Tools - User Agent Switcher - Options - Options, click on User Agents, then click on the Add button. Use the following (replace any data with the data you want, if different): Description : Firefox 2.0 User Agent: Gecko/20070802 Firefox/2.0.0.6 SeaMonkey/1.1.4 App Name : Firefox App Version : 2.0.0.6 Platform : Linux Vendor: Firefox Vendor Sub: For Platform, I use Linux. You may want to use Win32 or Windows NT 6.0. Then, when you want to go to a web site that is improperly sniffing, just go to Tools - User Agent Switcher - Firefox (or whatever you called it) and your browser will now send the new UA string. Keep in mind that the User Agent setting will reset when you close the browser, so you don't have to worry about setting it back. Good luck, To me this is quite complex and I do not understand it. I did as you said, but don't know why or what it does. So I guess...were you to give me a link that explains what a User Agent is and what all that stuff above is/does...I would become more erudite in the subject matter. As of now - I have no idea what is going on - as per usual... Mark is not as clear as he might be, you are NOT xchanging your user agent to FF, just changing the way it identifies itself to the site, so the site will behave. You are changing the UA *string* only. That said, he did get you going in the right direction. Since most sites just parse for Firefox in the string, you can change it to read something like: Seamonkey, not Firefox and it should work. I got that trick here, it's not original to me. You can set it in the about:config window. Isn't there a nice wiki on this, and if not, why? Well, this setting does affect some sites. Try for instance http://fr.yahoo.com/ The right part of the screen - a good part of it being ads - has disappeared. I had to go back to the original setting. -- John Doue ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If you encounter a truly IE only page, spoofing as IE will not make it render better. Leaving the UA spoofed as IE will also cause plugin problems, particularly with Java. Second, you should never leave your US spoofed. Al that does is misreport the number of people using SM, and make sit all the less likely that web designers will support the browser we love. Prefbar, at least, will always set the ua back to the real ua when you restart. Only spoof the UA when there is no other way to enter az site, and even then, wrte them to let them know that their site is accessible with SeaMonkey, and that they should adjust their browser sniffer accordingly.

Henry The above test shows that Mozilla only sees the one profile, and it is named 'Default'. Given that, I would have to guess that the .slt directory with all the contents in it is the current one, and the other is not being used. ... but that's just a guess. I think if you go into Edit - Mail Newsgroups Account Settings, the select Local Folders, the local directory setting will show the location of the profile directory in use.

The particular WP function has nothing to do with e-mail, but that's beside the point. If I do set my default e-mail client to Outlook, how will that affect Seamonkey? Which version of X4 do you have? Standard includes WP Mail, so why would it want MSO 2007 as the default? Are you sure you're not confusing the AB?
