Inbox messages history
Where do I find the inbox index (?) file? I have moved excess inbox messages to a separate folder (Old Inbox), and want to delete what shows up in my current Inbox. Make it empty, in other words. But, I forgot what the saved messages are (what suffix they carry (.msn?)) and where they're located.

Inbox oddities...
I'm working with Mac OS 10.6.2, and SM 1.1.18. In the last several days, my _Inbox_ shows message count discrepancies with what the upper left folder window indicates (say 15 messages unread, and 2484 total messages) and what actually shows up in the main message window, when I select to display only unread messages, is perhaps 5 unread messages and 828 messages total!) If I shut down Inbox and Home Account, then SeaMonkey, and after 10 seconds or so, reopen each folder, my messages revert to actual ~ 5 and 828. Soon, it reverts (as I move from folder to folder, and visit URLs on the 'net, then return to Inbox. It's never done this before. No, I have no idea what I might have recently done, or downloaded that might have interfered with smooth operations of SM. I have opened Disk Utility App. and repaired Disk Permissions, to little avail. Who has an idea what I might try next? A literal map leading me to go delete the Inbox .msf file might work, I guess. Any help much appreciated. keith whaley ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM 1.1.18 stripping attachments?
I use a Mac OS 10.6.2 and SM 1.1.18 for my email client. I've had occasion recently to receive short emails from a friend, with one or two jpegs attached. I wanted the entire message, with attachments, in a different folder, so I used _Control/Click/Move To_ to move the email. I looked in the new location, and there were NO JPEG containing messages in that folder at all! What happened to it/them? I looked in Trash, no jpegs. That incoming message is GONE! I've had this happen several times now, and haven't a clue as to what has happened, but I've LOST some important jpegs! Advice/help please?

Moving email folders out of SM...
I am working with SM 1.1.18, and Mac OS 10.6.3. My email and newsgroup ISP is DSLExtreme.com, which has contracted with Google to handle all their email activities. I’m now using GMail, whether I want to or not. I have just run across Google’s 7 GB limits on stored messages, emails, etc. I have a few folders in SM with saved emails going back a few years. I want to keep a few of them, which means moving the folders OUT of SM‘s Home Account. I can’t find a way to do that. They won’t click-slide out of the Home Account folder to the desktop.

Odd message window happenings...
SeaMonkey 1.1.18, Mac OS 10.6.3. In the process of selecting and reading any list messages, if I move the mouse cursor, and click the mouse to reposition the mouse cursor in some other location in that window or any place else, the colored highlighting on the Subject title line disappears and simultaneously the body of all listed and threaded messages resets to showing the chronologically first block of messages in the window (said another way, that window’s right hand sliding bar moves all the way upward). The address of where he displayed message is located is lost, and I have to remind it where it came from... Nothing happens to the message window I'm currently reading, but in order to delete or otherwise manipulate that message, I now have to go back locate the message‘s title in the list, RE-highlight it by clicking on it, and THEN delete it.

The task still is to save it as a file.html so that it can be loaded in a web browser or OpenOffice.org to export it as pdf.

This has been studied and discussed and picked apart and belabored over for years and years. The truth remains, there are STILL many folks who use dialup and not any of the much faster schemes such as dsl ~ and for these folks, they already labor to download 'normal' text, composed of ascii characters.

What preferences are you looking for? And were they before? Phil I'll attempt an explanation :-) First of all, I use Mac OS 10.5.7, and SeaMonkey 1.1.17. Sometime back, I managed to set my SeaMonkey (probably 1.1.16) up to receive scrolling news feeds at the bottom of the current window. I have no recollection of exactly what I did to obtain that capability, but nevertheless, I did and it worked fine. I have been receiving RSS feeds, BBC News and The Register. A couple times I even managed to modify some preferences as to how I wanted to see those messages displayed. For instance, my news feeds show up in the bottom menu bar as a series of up to 4 word 'headlines.' I can place my mouse cursor over the headline, and I will get a small message window elaborating on the story, to see if it interests me further. If it does, I will click on the headline, and get a full window, showing the article in question. You know all that, but I was able to change how I wanted my news reader to operate, by selecting the news sources and details of how I wanted it displayed on my computer, etc. The other day, a notice showed up saying RSS v. 2.0 was available, so I downloaded it and installed it. Since then, I no longer get my small window elaborating on the news item when I place my mouse cursor over the headline. I don't know where to go to change that preference, which is why I started the above Subject post... Once I find the *Preferences* area, I'll figure out how to manipulate it by trial and error, as I usually do :-) but first I have to locate it! That's what I'm looking for. My first problem is, I have no idea what my News Reader is called, or I'd do a search for it. So far, I haven't found it. I suppose it might be a plug-in, but...

So, did you install Snow Leopard and then reinstall SM 1.1.17 or did the new mac OS permit you to use your already installed SM version? Thanks! :) I didn't protect SeaMonkey in any way. Nor did I remove any of the previous OS. I backed up my internal HD first, then installed SL direct from the DVD Apple sent me. When SuperDuper! 2.6 finished backing up, I tried to boot from the external Backup Drive, as I've done in the past. I had originally intended to install SL on it, and use it instead of the internal drive for a while, to see how SL behaved. Sort of saving my iMac's internal drive just in case something weird happened. However, a warning screen showed up, saying I could not install SL on the Backup drive, because it doesn't use the GUID partition table scheme. This is something new to me... That threw me a bit, so with little other obvious choice I decided to install 10.6 on my internal drive, right smack on top of 10.5.8, and take a chance they'd get along without fighting! In sum, it installed very well, no glitches, and after the OS was installed, I started up my previously installed SeaMonkey 1.1.17 and it acted like nothing had happened at all! Good luck. I do like Snow Leopard so far. It's crisper acting, and I've had no problems at all.

During installation, is SL supposed to or reported to offer you that choice? If so, I didn't see that option. I stayed near the monitor as SL was loading, but definitely didn't read every screen that showed up. If I was offered that option, it must have been for a short time, and proceeded without my intervention. So far, only two things of interest have happened during my SL installation and immediately subsequent: Right after installing SL, I tried to access my Canon printer, and all that showed up was my Brother fax/copy machine. A minute or two of dialog about looking for another printer driver was all it took. It (the OS?) immediately selected the appropriate Canon driver, and it all worked after that. Last glitch was, I turned on my Epson scanner and was told I couldn't scan with my setup (I paraphrase wildly!) Anyhow, I was asked if I wanted the system (?) to go get Rosetta and install it, preparatory to scanning. I said yes and it DID. Immediately! I was impressed.

Windows 'snap-to' problem - repeat posting

Apologies if I'm the only one that didn't get a copy, and you've all seen it. I'll risk that this one time... Thanks, keith whaley original message** A while back, I started a small discussion here about an oddity I was experiencing with my Finder's desktop. To begin with, I use the Snow Leopard OS, v. 10.6.1. My mail/news client is Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.18. My problem is, _sometimes_ when I have some window on top, mostly filling the screen, and I try to move it aside a little, by click-and-drag on the window's uppermost bar, to see what's underneath, and release the mouse cursor after moving the top window aside, that window snaps back to where it was originally. In other words, I cannot move the window and expect it to STAY where I put it! Yes, I know I can press my mouse's scroll ball, to reveal what windows I have open, but in this instance, I wanted to view the window full size. Pressing the mouse button reduces the size of all windows, to be able to display all of them. I didn't want that. To briefly recap, the last time this happened someone on this list suggested I go to the SM menu bar item Window/Zoom. That does indeed jostle the top window, and when I first tried that technique, it freed the window's rubbery attachment to the screen, and I thought I had that problem solved for all time. Nope. That just happened again, so I tried Zoom. It jostled the window, but the 'rubber band' effect keeps pulling that window to it's original position on the screen. So, that's not a solution to the problem... I can't tell you WHAT window I had up, nor what led up to my wanting to take a look at the other windows, but I sure would like to know what's going on! BTW, I was in the mail/newsgroups side of SeaMonkey when this happened, not in Navigator. This snapping back to a previous position is a big annoyance to me, and I'd like to know how to get out of it when it happens.

Robert Kaiser I like tiny round buttons, but...what to do when you run across a button icon that does not display a text description when you pass your mouse cursor over it? Is there a toggle for that action somewhere? Every window that displays, at least in Mail Newsgroups AND in Navigator, has a title bar (my name for it) with the name of the window you're looking at, the omnipresent oval button far right, and the three little round buttons far left, with X, - and + inside them. Obviously the X closes the window, the - seems to minimize the window and zoom it into the Dock, and what does the + window do? On mine, pressing plus moves the current window to the top left of the available screen space. What's that all about? Since I have no owner's manual for my SM 1.1.18, and particularly in the absence of the drop-down textual identity windows I mentioned above, I have to _guess_ what the actions are for... I tried looking thru Help, but finally gave up finding anything about them. They don't seem to HAVE a name.

Incidentally, I always used reply on the mailing list just as I have here; that doesn't work on the mailing list. Thanks, James I know Reply All worked in the email client going through support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org but you had to remove the originating sender so they don't get double of what you send but don't know if it works the same in newsgroup so I'm sending this through newsgroup. If you get this from the newsgroup and as a direct email James and this threads correctly I would suggest using the Reply All. If not then your guess is as good as mine. It worked just fine that way, William, since you started from within the newsgroup. But since I can answer the support list messages from either the newsgroup OR the mailing list, and if I'm already IN the mailing list, why not answer it from there instead of exiting the mailing list and opening the newsgroup, to answer ONE message, and going back to the list? They both cover the very same words, so why is a mirror necessary? Better said, when one is in the mail list already, and selects 'Reply' why is the header set up to put the last individual poster to any thread in the To slot instead of the CC slot? Or, why send a personal copy to the last person to post to the group at all? What's the point? Put another way, why should I even belong to the newsgroup so long as support-seamon...@lists... exists? I get my messages at both places right now. If I dropped the newsgroup, but kept getting all the support- messages by way of the mail list, I don't NEED the newsgroup to communicate. All this discussion to avoid fixing the situation so that selecting Reply replies to the support group instead of one person (the last poster). Odd. keith whaley What you said is very true but as you can see or maybe can't see is that I am not responding to you thru the NG this time but using the list to do so and that your not going to get a direct mailing of it because I simply clicked on reply all and then deleted your address from the sending address bar. I'm not sure how the list is setup but know from experience with Yahoo Groups that this problem may not be a problem of SeaMonkey's but of Google's where the list, I believe, originates and a simple change in the settings of the reply to preference by the moderator of the list could repair. That's possible. I guess that first the oddity of the action of having a mail-list as well as a newsgroup mirroring each other's messages must be resolved. IOW, what does the newsgroup do that the email list couldn't, or doesn't already? Does eliminating one or the other harm the participants of either? How? I'm on over one hundred Groups on Yahoo and each has their settings different so I have to watch when replying to them if clicking reply just sends it to the posting member or back to the Group for distribution to all members. Right. So, considering that AT THE MOLMENT I get news messages in teh newsgroup as well as in the mail list, I'm going to quit/delete my connection to the newsgroup, and see whether I still get messages! If I still do, let's see what the header shows this time! Thanks for the post. Oh wait!

I don't know if that's easy to do (or even possible) with SeaMonkey. I think the best I could do with SM 1.1.18 is to 'Send a Copy To'. I'm pretty sure that works after you have composed a message.

When I put my mouse cursor over Reply it specifically says Reply to the message. If it actually _did_ that, that would be ideal, but it doesn't. It replies to the last poster, PERSONALLY. That's not what it says it was meant to do. That is simply wrong, IMO. 2) The list is inappropriately configured I've said that for some time now.

I'd really like to know why. Also, what encoding scheme DO you use in lieu of? Mostly just a personal preference. My general (US based) contacts that I know personally have typically not had good results when I send unicode chars. Also, my keyboard does not make it easy for me to type unicode chars. I usually stick with ASCII in e-mails for that reason. Also I'm not too familiar with dealing with encoding schemes as I would like. When I do chose an encoding scheme, I usually choose UTF-8 (BOM or not depends on context). I have nothing against unicode, just that I experience too much font issues when *I* use it outside of dev. These issues are usually avoidable easily by simply not using Unicode. Hope that helps It does. I'll add one more comment. In the site: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html The following quote appears: The UTF-8 encoding defined in ISO 10646-1:2000 Annex D and also described in RFC 3629 as well as section 3.9 of the Unicode 4.0 standard does not have these problems. It is clearly the way to go for using Unicode under Unix-style operating systems. My guess is that since I work with Mac OS 10, which is UNIX based, that's why I find it compatible for my use. I'll also guess you use a Windows OS, and that is not UNIX based, which is one reason why you dislike how UTF-8 treats your efforts.

Re: Towards an alternative way forward for Seamonkey
Excellent analogy, Sir Phillip! :-) Pertinent, accurate and most amusing all at the same time. Thanks, keith whaley Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd) wrote: MCBastos wrote: To draw a very simple parallel, there's very little haste and stress involved in getting on the subway to travel cross-town... because if I miss this train, there will be another a few minutes later, and you can get on it with minimum effort and little lost time. Getting on a plane, OTOH, involves quite a lot of worry and rushing around, because if I miss the plane, there might take hours to get on another one, with considerable annoyance, expenses and lost time. Well, let's explore your metaphor further -- let's say you were used to catching the 20:14, which stopped everywhere you wanted it to, didn't stop at strange, out-of-the-way, stations, was reliable, punctual and got you to the office on time. Then the 20:14 was cancelled (well, not really cancelled, but all the station staff told you that it wasn't really safe any more, even though it was exactly the same train you had been using for months), and they really thought that you should start taking the 22:00 instead. So you did what they recommended, and strange things started to happen; it no longer stopped everywhere it used to, stopped at strange, out-of-the-way stations that no-one had ever heard of, your luggage would frequently disappear without trace, you were automatically sat alongside a bunch of other folk you'd never seen before instead of having a carriage to yourself, and various other oddities occurred that forced you to wonder what exactly was so wrong with the good old 20:14. And then the 22:00 was cancelled, and replaced by the 23:00, which had its own set of quirks, and then there was the 24:00 and the 24:10 which replaced it shortly afterwards, and all the staff kept assuring you that this regular change of timetable was in everyone's interest, and they didn't mind working their @rses off so that new timetables could be published every six weeks, and so on. And then someone had a brainwave -- look, he said, just because the rail network keeps introducing new trains doesn't mean that we commuters have to follow suit; why don't we just agree amongst ourselves that /our/ timetable will change only every six months ? Sure there'll be trains that are faster than ours, painted in prettier, more psychedelic colours, with go-faster stripes and all the bells and whistles you could possibly ask for, but our trains will have one great advantage : we will have dry-run them for a minimum of three months before we let a single commuter loose on them; they'll be thoroughly way-tested by our dedicated band of better-testers (as we call them in the rail trade), we'll make sure that all the rough edges to the seats that were there when they left the factory have been removed, we'll make sure that the train stops where /our/ passengers want it to stop, and that it sails through those crazy stations that the rail network think it ought to, and so on. Now wouldn't you, Mr Bastos, think twice before willingly agree to catch a different train every six weeks, and wouldn't you perhaps prefer to catch a slightly slower train in the the sure and certain knowledge that it would be /reliable/, would manifest no unexpected behaviour, and even if it wasn't 100% bullet-proof against the latest weapons of micro-destruction (WMDs, as they are called in the trade, or Viruses and Trojan Horses, as it is rumoured they were once known), there was still a 99.999% probability that you would arrive safely, particularly because you long ago invested in some good, modern, anti-WMD protection that made sure that your train would almost never encounter those WMDs in the first place ?
