 Ok, this is too much. Seamonkey 2 seems to have Deleted/removed itself??

 In a previous post (12/6/10), I had just upgraded to Seamonkey version 2
 and lost all but one of my profiles (S.Beaulieu was kind enough to post
 info on how to recover my other profiles.

 Last night, 12/14/10, I clicked on the Seamonkey desktop icon and
 nothing happened: I got a message saying that seamonkey.exe is not a
 valid application???  Thinking it was a 'congested computer problem',I
 rebooted -now the Seamonkey Icon was blank- and got the same result when
 I clicked on it.
 I followed the desktop shortcut  found the seamonkey.exe file was 0
 bytes! (see: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bjweiss/SMfolder.jpg )

 What's going on. How could Seamonkey get uninstalled or corrupted? Did
 it try and automatically upgrade itself?

 Can I recover from this or do I need to try a new install? Thanks in
 advance for any insight on this.

 Interesting, are you running an AV application that may think it was a
 virus and removed the .exe file or rendered it useless?



 I have Symantec AV which does a small scan on reboot and maybe monitors
 email.
 (I'm not at my home computer right now so I'm not sure of the edition or
 settings).
 I also have Malwarebytes  SUPERAntiSpyware (both are free versions,
 that have to be initiated manually).

 never had anything like this happen at any time.

So I don't think any of these programs are the culprit.

Looking at the image that you have made it seems that you have backup
files of everything in that folder.
There is a file called seamonkey.exe.moz-backup.

Just a guess, but copy everything out of that folder and then copy and
rename all files ending moz-backup to their original names, that
might bring you back Seamonkey, but in anycase try see what has caused
that, since I do not believe it is in any way normal behaviour. It
seems that there has been other cases like your see the link below:

Almost all of my Web pages contain the following in the head section:
  link rel=shortcut icon href=DR.ICO type=image/x-icon
  link rel=icon href=DR.ICO type=image/x-icon
These provide for an icon appearing in the SeaMonkey address area and an

When I log headers via LiveHTTPheaders, why don't I see a log entry for
the icon?  When does SeaMonkey fetch the icon from the Web server?

When the cache says it's expired. Just like with any other external file 
(image, JS, CSS, ...). Expiration depends on the HTTP headers that are 
part of the initial response, which depend on the issuing server and 
perhaps the software/code used (e.g. in case of PHP), and the clocks of 
both the server and yours. Whether it's still in the cache depends on 
your cache size and the cache retention policy (like first-in-first-out 
or least-recently-used). Whether the cache is used depends on your settings.


I would guess that using Shift+Reload bypasses all parts of cache usage, 
including this one.

Sporadic problem sending messages. Alert window Sending Messages remains open.

2010-12-16 Thread Rostyslaw Lewyckyj

64 bit Windows 7 with SM 2.0.11 connected via DSL to ATT.
It seems to have started after the 2.0.11 update.
I have a POP mail account with Yahoo (where ever ATT sold us to)
and an IMAP account at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
I have now had this happen on both accounts.

Sending a message will put up a
 Sending Messages - With subject of the message alert box.
Inside the box is a line labeled Status: delivering message or
Status: Copy ... , a Progress: bar, and a Cancel button.

- The alert gets to Status: Copy complete with
the Progress: bar filling completely and indicating 100%

But the alert window doesn't terminate, i.e. close.

Checking the Sent folder shows the message is there,
seemingly complete.
Sending a test message to myself, seemingly has sent the message,
because It appears in server INbox, and I can download it as a
new message.
But the Sending Messages ... alert hangs around until I X close
or Cancel it!

Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?
What is likely causing the problem? and of more interest, HOW do I
repair the problem cause?
How do I determine that the message has in fact been sent completely
and successfully?

It needs to be fixed in the application. I'd guess there's no workaround.

Tough call. In Thunderbird the Activity Manager might show it, but 
SeaMonkey doesn't have that (yet). I'd assume (but haven't checked) that 
the message is only saved in the Sent folder if the actual sending was 
successful.

Is there no person who uses Debian, in the Seamonkey Project? Or, at

I for one use Debian on my laptop, but testing/unstable, and not the 
distribution-provided packages for Mozilla software (SM/TB/FF), but 
releases and nightlies from ftp.mozilla.org, all installed somewhere 
below my home directory so I can use the automatic update mechanism.


I don't know about others. E.g. KaiRo is using OpenSuSE AFAIK.

If that's what the developers are doing, it's irresponsible and unsafe. 
The right way to do this is to download the entire installer and then

I can imagine a local power outage causing the installer to fail in

The common sense thing to do is replace the Header notation of the OS 
sending the original post and all threads to that post.  We used to have

Looks like this report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557007



Evenwhike the problem *is* reproductible ...there is still Vote numbers 
= *0* - So this bug will never be solved/corrected nor worked on.



We're supposed to VOTE on these bugs?

This bug is merely annoying, once you realize that the message has actually 
gotten sent. I see it 8 - 10 times in my average week.

But it's a REAL problem to people who haven't yet figured out that it's 
actually harmless

Actually, the number of votes doesn't really influence which bugs 
developers work on. Really important criteria (for actual bugs, 
excluding enhancements) are: Major feature broken, regression, data 
loss, security issue, ... that sort of things. In this case the bug is 
about MailNews, which means that there's a chance that it's also in 
Thunderbird which raises the chance that someone will work on it eventually.

Sending a message will put up a

Inside the box is a line labeled Status: delivering message or
Status: Copy ... , a Progress: bar, and a Cancel button.

- The alert gets to Status: Copy complete with
the Progress: bar filling completely and indicating 100%

But the alert window doesn't terminate, i.e. close.

Anyone else experiencing this behaviour?

To Jens:
It looks like 557007, But:
Those occurrences appear to be on an Apple Macintosh system.
Mine are on 64 bit Windows 7 ultimate.
So are people encountering it on various systems?
One of my occurrences was with 3 attachments ~40k + ~40k + 2010k,
and the copy progress bar got stuck at ~57%. So I don't know if the
file was sent. The other was a small ~4k text file which appeared
to have been sent (copy progress bar went to 100%, complete mess.
in sent folder)
Repeated tests sending to myself in both cases sent successfully.

To Bill:
But how does one know if the send did complete successfully
in cases other than sending a CC to oneself and retrieving
your copy of the mail from the remote mailbox?

Re: Page Icons

 Almost all of my Web pages contain the following in the head section:
   link rel=shortcut icon href=DR.ICO type=image/x-icon
   link rel=icon href=DR.ICO type=image/x-icon
 These provide for an icon appearing in the SeaMonkey address area and an
 icon appended to anyone else's bookmark for the page.
 
 When I log headers via LiveHTTPheaders, why don't I see a log entry for
 the icon?  When does SeaMonkey fetch the icon from the Web server?
 

It appears that no logging occurs when a media object (e.g., an icon) is
fetched from the local cache.

Location-Aware Browsing

2010-12-16 Thread David E. Ross
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11

I just did a search in Google for Supercuts.  At the top of the list
was a map of the area where I live, showing the location of the nearest
Supercuts store to my house.

I have the preference variable geo.enabled set to false.  I have no
cookies set for Supercuts.  The only cookie I have for Google resulted
from my setting my search preferences; in those preferences, I left my
location blank.

Why does it appear that I'm still getting location-aware browsing?

Not a bad idea at all, Joe.  Can't tell how many times I've offered 
advice only to find the OP says something like:


Thanks, but that doesn't apply to my OS.  To which I reply something 
like:  Well, if you'd have said so in the first place instead of 
forcing me to do a view source and try and figure that out ...


BTW, don't hold your breath.  :-D
