Re: UA Spoofing.
When my XulRunner applications starts spamming Firefox UA telling a lie to the world, I will start FF spoofing on my web sites to ban all UAs containing FireFox. I hate FireFox. I do not accept UA containing FireFox, if it is not a FireFox but only uses the Mozilla toolkit. It is ok, if the user can configure site by site to append that stupid keyword for compatibility with sites of stupid site authors, but this should not be the default but should be done for each site separately. My favorite is SM, which is the only real mozilla.

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. Not precisely a copy, but yes, I can see the whole new profile in a separate directory. 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. 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 just looked at the aol.com main page again, and there is both blue
text and black text. The blue text is all clickable links! And
*should* be blue (the normal color of unvisited links). Nearly
everything on the page is a link to something, but there is ordinary
black text here and there.
Unfortunately, AOL has added additional styling to *not* respect the
standard color of visited links, which is purple.
I went to AOL after reading your message and see that it is basically
all links as you said, and it seems to me, Willard should be able to
change the link print to a color that pleases him more, if he set
them in the link color settings, under Edit/Preferences... and
uncheck the use system settings, shouldn't he?
He could, but whatever he picks is going to affect all web pages, not
just AOL. Maybe he picks to make a:link { color: black !important; }
and then goes to a page with a black background. Poof, no links.
I tend to just put up with whatever the author delivers. It's not going
to kill me. For my own web sites, I do assign link colors, the standard
values for unvisited, visited, hover and so forth.
Surely he doesn't want them in black too, but whatever he wants, that
should work, wouldn't it?
It should... nearly everything a web author does can be overridden --
if you know how. :-)
It gives me the colors I have set for general print fonts, and links.

That's true... and he probably wouldn't want to deal with that.

LOL... I'm not that smart. :)
I'm probably missing a lot in creativity, but I've set mine to a dark
background and lighter fonts, simply because it's easier on my eyes.
I'm on the computer a LOT, and most all sites work for me. :)
Guess Willard will just have to experiment some more, and see what he's
happy with, since he could change the colors of those links that he
objects to. ;)

Sending attachments
I have a Dell 4600, Win XP with all the updates, SM2.06. Last week I suddenly can not send attachments over about 100 K. Smaller files are sent fine. It doesn't matter the file type. Regular e-mail works fine as long as there aren't any large attachments. Before last week there was no problem sending large attachments. If I forward a large e-mail it will not send either. The message will to to 29% sent and freeze, then time out. I have a laptop with Win 7, SM 2.06 networked to the same router and I have no problem sending the same files that would not send from the Dell. I created a new profile, no info from others profiles added, with the same results. I'm an early Netscape users and have not encountered anything like this before. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
