When i use my windows live hotmail webmail account with seamonkey
1.1.16 and earlier, I can read my email but when I try to compose
mail, I cannot write the text of the mail.
The mail account works fully with Firefox so the hotmail end looks
like it is configured OK.
Can anyone throw any light on this please.
TIA
Bob
why can't you compose? What happens? What error messages, if any, do
you get? When you click on compose, what happens?
The reply window opens but I cannot type in it
Have you tried changing the user agent to pretent to be FF and see
what happens?
Sorry I don't understand this part.
Bob
yup, it seems they're browser sniffing. That means they're sniffing to
see what browser you're using, and if you're using anything besides IE
or FF, then you're SOL. It just won't work with SM.
One way around this is to change you're user agent. The UA tells the
world what browser you're using, and what operating sytem you're
using. For example, your UA is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.21)
Gecko/20090403 SeaMonkey/1.1.16
This tells me you're using winXP [thats NIT 5.1], you're using the US
version of SeaMonkey, version 1.1.16.
If you install the UA Switcher, then you can change your UA and
pretend you're another browser, and a nother operating system. You can
get it here: http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/
Thanks Peter,
I'm now pretending to be Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 and all seems to be working.

Having upgraded to SM2, The user agent switcher has disappeared. This
seemed to be necessary to be able to compose Hotmail messages.
I tried to reinstall the add-in to SM2 and apparently it is incompatible
with SM2.
So what is the solution to composition of hotmail messages under SM2
(please don't say "Don't use Hotmail" as that is not an option for me).
TIA
Bob
