Preferences hangs
Using 1.1.16. I go into Preferences within Mail and News. Click Mail and Newgroups. The options for making SeaMonkey the defaults for mail and news are not checked. I check them and click on OK. It hangs and have to shut down. I am using my new Acer computer, 64 bit, Vista.

There is another function for choosing SeaMonkey and when I do that it hangs.
