Funny that there are volunteers to take out working and useful

manager.
I for one am glad it is not in SM2 as I never did use it. A program can
not please everyone. Perhaps you can volunteer or donate for someone to
put forth an effort to fix what you seem to find the Form Management so
vital that you can not use SM2 without it.
I think you miss the point, it was in, it worked, someone took the
time to
remove it. No amount of volunteer will put it back in, because
someone wanted it
out.
I used Forms manager at least once a week. What was good about it ,
was you could pre fill in information so that when a page form asked
for it showed up. Obviously the people that take out stuff , don't use
it and taking it out, not realizing many people almost depend upon it.
But because they don't use it they find it necessary. That what
happens when the developers, don't pay attention users or customers.
I could not have said it better! :-)
You're missing the point on this whole issue I think. Seamonkey2.0 moved
to the new toolkit backend. The old Form-Manager could _not_ be kept
that way, it needs a "rewrite". As noone was there to maintain that code
and noone implemented a new solution there is none (or at least not the
way it used to be).

No we're not missing the point. You could have wrote a new one. But you
didn't have time . The Forms history extension is sort of acceptable
replacement. But it should not have been necessary add an extension to
do what people have come to expect all along.
Don't try to port old code. Open up SM 1.1.8 document what it actually
does, and write new code to provide the same service. It will be two
years or more before 2.1 will be on the scene if you go in .01
increments. You have enough time to add it back.
I wish you developers would open the old program document every feature
that exist. and provide those features using new code not try to port
the old code. design it with new windows , whatever, but put the same
general purpose back in.
If you can't design it get in touch with the design of Forms history
tool and buy the code and add it in.
