It is functional and displays data on both + and - mouse pushes.

It is possible that you over + and a grid of names comes up.  Moved to close.

That doesn't necessarily mean it's not used by SM 2.0, as it is a user-created

Actually, drag it to your Navigation toolbar so you'll be able to easily

Set it to false.

Now go to the above and and double-click the lightning.xpi - you should

I have always advocated using a user interface (when available) instead
of tweaking preference variables.  This ensures that any necessary
housekeeping (e.g., for related variables) will occur.

On the SeaMonkey menu bar, go to [Edit > Preferences].  On the
Preferences window, select [Privacy & Security > Images].  On the Images
pane, select the radio button under "Animated images should loop" for
the effect you want.

I don't use Firefox (yet), so I can't tell you how to set this for that
browser.

Both browsers have image.animation_mode set to normal and Seamonkey has 
"animated images should loop" "as many times as the image specifies"


I just did some testing and it appears to be the iteration count.  So, 
should it be '0' to loop forever?

"You've got mail!" :)


the number should correlate to how many new/unread messages you have.
GW

Can you explain the logic of having 3 new/unread messages in my inbox
and one in the green circle? (not the same senders). I can have 5 new
messages and only one or two in the green circle.

For an unknown reason (to me), it seems to stop counting...

TIA



It is possible that it's only counting new messages received in the
most recent 'Get New Messages'? I know for Seamonkey on Windows and
Unix, that the look of each unread message changes the next time I
do a Get New Messages, so I think the application can tell the
difference.


The count is intended to be new messages and (as is proper) is to
be cleared once you have done something that indicates you've seen
the notification (so it is ready to indicate the arrival of more new
mail.) Thus, new mail notification is by design ephemeral.
(Sometimes too much so.)
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344066#c4




On Mac OS 10.4, with SeaMonkey 2.0 RC1 (and previous beta), the number 
in the circle in the dock appears to be the total number of unread 
messages rather than, as with SM 1.1, the number of "new" messages.  In 
my case, my inbox has thousands of unread (and probably never will be 
read) messages, so now the number in the icon is huge and useless.


Was the definition of this number in the icon on the dock changed for 
version 2?

Running 2.0RC1 on Win XP Pro SP3 with an import of my SM 1.1.18 profile, and
seeing the following for which I'd appreciate any info, especially if there's a
fix in the works for the more annoying behavior:

A) Password manager multiple requests -- I currently use a Master Password with
SM 1.1.18, set for "If it has not been used for [10] minutes or longer," and it
works as expected, with necessary requests being made within those parameters
for needed passwords on a web page or for mail access.  SM 2.0RC1 makes what
appear to be random requests that have nothing to do with actually supplying a
password, including a request at start-up of only the browser, and it doesn't
appear to honor the above timeout settings.  This is becoming *very* annoying,
and from a scan of Bugzilla, there still is no fix in the works.  What up w'
dat, peeps?

B) Offline and Disk Space setting -- although SM 2.0RC1 honors the setting to
"Ask me for online state at startup," it a) brings up a second dialog box after
clicking on either option, and has to be clicked on again to start the program
in either mode; and b) the dialog box is accompanied by the Default Beep sound
assigned by Win XP.  Regarding the latter, 1.1.18 doesn't do this, so I'm
wondering what the intrinsic change was with the shift to Toolkit that makes
this now the program behavior.  While certainly not critical, it does become a
bit annoying.  The former behavior (a) is definitely a bug, but I have not been
able to drill down in Bugzilla to find a listing (to be honest, it is VERY
DIFFICULT to find specific bugs these days through the system, and it is not all
intuitive, IMHO).

C) Mail and News default view -- in 1.1.18, mail/news starts up opened to my
default mail account Inbox folder in the left pane, showing the folder contents
in right pane.  2.0RC1 opens up to the main e-mail title in the left pane, thus
showing the general settings for e-mail and specific options for the account
(Email, Accounts, Advanced Features).  While the behavior of 2.0RC1 may be
beneficial if a user has multiple e-mail accounts, the behavior of 1.1.18 is
preferable if a user only has one account and one Inbox.  Is there a means to
modify 2.0RC1's behavior to be like 1.1.18's, or is this a reflection of the
shift to Toolkit and just something I'll have to put up with?  (And explain to
my elderly parents when I shift them over to 2.0, because anything that changes
on the computer gives them license to get bothered...)

As stated above, further info greatly appreciated on the described behavior, and
fix info, especially for (A), appreciated even more.

I used to want my MTV.  Now I just want all my usual Add-Ons for SM 2.0 --

It sounds like damaged files in your profile.  I would try deleting the

just that server.  As it is, you're basically starting over every time 
you access the newsgroups.

It's happened several times with me, which is normal for previous versions.
It seems to be a timing thing.  If the news server doesn't respond

to cancel the window.  Sometimes the message is sent, sometimes not, I
suppose depending on how soon I canceled out.

It's puzzling... maybe SM should disconnect sooner?  Is there a setting
for attempts to connect?bj



You have a good approach ... it's certainly a "timing window" problem. This
kind of problem is not easy to cure, because it's not easy to reproduce. And
will never corrected in SM due to the politic way of managing bugs ... :-) We

Hmmm, could that not be considered a bug?
If you have an address duplicated in the list of recipients, a really
clever mail/news client would warn you.  Not that that will be in the RFC!


That would be a useful feature, I think ideally it would have three settings, 
for warn and wait approval, for ignore, and for 'send just one copy' to avoid

But be aware that in linux you'll probably run into the issue that I
posted in: "[YAFBQ] Facebook +Flash +linux".

I see the OP is using:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23)
Gecko/20090825 SeaMonkey/1.1.18

so probably won't be an issue with Dale.

For individual msgs: File|Save As|File will save the msg (or multiple
msgs) as a plain text message. Now the interesing bit is that it will
put a .eml tag on the end. On my system (linux), Nautilus will default
to Opera to open the file (works). If I try to open in SeaMonkey 1.1.18
or 2.0, neither will open the file... _unless_ I change the .eml to .txt
and _then_ they will open the file in the browser window.

So thinking that I'd just change the Helper Application to include a
application/x-mimearchive
mime encapsulated web archive
.eml
I find that I can no longer do that in SeaMonkey 2.0 (can in 1.1.18).

From what I understand, auto-refreshing is an HTML or javascript 
functionality, which is interpreted by the browser, rather than being 
funtionality of the browser. Thus, it is the code on the particular web 
pages, rather than something from within SeaMonkey, that causes the 
auto-refreshing.


In reading the weather observations web page agin, after posting the message 
above, I found that the observations are updated every ten minutes, and the 
web page reloads every five minutes. Nothing significantly different to what 
I said above, I think, but it needed correcting.


Apart from using the Classic theme, and Adobe Reader, which does not apply to 
the particular web pages, I believe that I have no extensions of plugins 
installed on this installation of SeaMonkey.


Is there a simple way of finding what, if any, extensions and/or plugins are 
insstalled and linke to a SeaMonkey installation?


Thank you in anticipation.

The news web page that refreshes when it wants to, is written in 
javascript, so I can't find the auto-refresh command.


The weather observation web page that refreshes every five minutes, has 
the auto-refresh command included in the header HTML code;

"" ;
nice and simple, and easy to find.

If SeaMonkey had a way of overruling auto-refreshing, by using a switch, 
the same way that some web browsers manage to overrule and stop pop-ups, 
it would be quite convenient, and, reduce bandwidth wastage.

If user.js still works with SM 2, set the preferences there instead of
using about:config.  With SM 1.1.x, this is a text file.  Whatever
installed default setting SeaMonkey has for a preference, user.js
overrides it.

The format is
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto", true);
The semi-colon at the end is required; many users forget it and then
wonder why it doesn't work.  Making this work also requires completely
terminating SeaMonkey and then restarting it.

How then do I continue to use Eudora for E-mail and Thunderbird for

that I don't see in any newer E-mail applications.  I use Thunderbird so
that I can switch browser profiles without switching newsreader profiles.

Hi KristleBawl,

I celebrated too soon... :-(

I reinstalled Seamonkey 2 RC thinking that the above would work and I
could
start using it for day-to-day browsing. But for some reason it does
not. Still
launches its built-in email client when clicking on mailto links.

Have you tried the above with success?

Russell.


After the above, make sure Seamonkey is *not* the default mail client
(it probably becomes default during installation) and open your
preferred mail client and reset it as the default. It should work.

When I open Help and look at Mail & Newsgroups Preferences, it states, 
in part:


Use SeaMonkey Mail as the default mail application: Select SeaMonkey 
Mail & Newsgroups as the default mail application for Windows and from 
within other applications such as Microsoft Word.


Note: Setting SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups as the default mail 
application may disable another mail application. To restore the other 
mail application as the default, deselect this option.


All of the options are grayed out and cannot be deselected. If this 
option worked as advertised in the Help section, would that not solve 
Russell's problem without resorting to about:config?

Copy the source-code of that page to the w3c validator and see if
critical errors ocur. If yes: throw them at the facebook people.
If not, give Seamonkey 2.0RC a try to see if it behaves the same (can be
installed seperately to another directory and will import your data to a

Your profile is always on C: if you didn't move it, no matter where you
put Seamonkey as application.
Copy your profile to another drive and use the profile manager to guide

Re: Convert emails to plain text

RE: <<  Re: Convert emails to plain text  >>

With instructions that "simple" it would take users, neophyte to computing or 
to SM, hours to master.
 
Why not have an SM 2.x option to Export some, one mail box, selected or all 
messages to standard text files, knowing that those files with HTML (graphics 
and/or RTF level content) or attachments would of course have to be handeled.
