Thanks so much! I've saved this message for sure, so you won't have to do repeats. :) I haven't been able to determine if the newsgroup filter is going to work yet, but I've developed a mysterious problem with sending mail with 2.0, which I started a new thread about.

Good catch - Thanks! @chicagofan: I recommend installing to C:\Program Files\Seamonkey2 But if you'd like to wait for a few moments I'll fire up a WinXP machine and provide you with the exact steps. Sorry it took awhile... I forgot Windows needs to first install a bazillion updates, then reboot, then do some more., etc. Anyway: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/install-and-uninstall I'll modify the Windows instructions slightly - my modifications/comments are prefaced by NoOp:: Windows Installation Instructions For Windows 2000/XP systems, you need Administrator privileges to install SeaMonkey. If you see an Error 5 message during installation, make sure you're running the installation with Administrator privileges. To install SeaMonkey by downloading the SeaMonkey installer NoOp: link is: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.0b1 , follow these steps: 1. Click the link to seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.installer.exe (or similar file name) on the site you're downloading SeaMonkey from to download the installer file to your machine. NoOp: The file is 'SeaMonkey Setup 2.0 Beta 1.exe' - why the mozilla folks decided to use this naming convention with spaces in it is beyond me... Further, the reference to the above seamonkey-2.xx.en-US.win32.installer.exe is wrong. Before proceeding: right click your SeaMonkey icon on your desktop and rename to 'SeaMonkey 1.x' so that you later can bring up SM 1.1.x easily. 2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and double-click the installer file icon on your machine to begin the Setup program. NoOp: - SeaMonkey Setup Wizard - Next - Click the 'I accept the terms in this License Agreement' (you might want to read them first... by accepting you agree to allow Mozilla to use your children for development purposes. - Next - Setup Type - Click Custom - Next - Choose Optional Components (leave everything checked) - Next - Choose Install Location - Change C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\ to C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey2\ Note: the default of C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey\ should be fine if your old installation is located in C:\Program Files\mozilla but changing to C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey2\ will ensure that your install folder is different won't interfere with 1.1.x. - Set Up Shortcuts - Next - Choose Start Menu Folder - Change from 'SeaMonkey' to 'SeaMonkey2' [1] - Next - Summary - Install - Completing... - Finish (leave 'Launch SeaMonkey now' checked' SeaMonkey will start. - Click Help|About SeaMonkey - and verify that the window shows version 2.0b1. - Click the 'mail' icon in the lower left panel. Verify that your mail/news profiles from 1.1.x have been imported and are intact. - Exit SeaMonkey. - Right click the new SeaMonkey icon on the desktop and rename it 'SeaMonkey2': Properties|General|SeaMonkey2. This helps to identify between SeaMonkey 1.x and SeaMonkey2. Do the same for the SeaMonkey icon in the quick start panel. Now you can click on either the 1.1x icon or the 2x icon and launch either 1.1.x or 2.0x. Normally to launch both at the same time you will need to do the following: Right click the SeaMonkey icons, select Properties and in 'Target' add at the end of the line where it shows 'seamonkey.exe': -noremote and then click 'Apply' and then 'OK. So it will read: C:\\seamonkey.exe -noremote Be sure to do it for both the SM2 and SM1 icons. That last doesn't seem to be working for me on the WinXP test system; works on linux to I'll need to test more tomorrow. However, the above will allow you to run either or for now.

Is there any chance SM will ever have a message filter in the future, that will block crossposting, as we could with the old Netscape programs? Or is there an add on that will do that, like Fix News did for Netscape? Some newsgroups are just impossible to keep up with, because of spammers cross posting, and constantly changing their addresses.
