Hello, and thanks for that information. I established the new string in about:config by copying in your data and typing in "true", and I also reestablished the mailto "open" command in Folder Options/File Types in Windows (Win2000), which I had previously deleted in trying to solve this. However, Seamonkey still continues to open only its own email client. I understand the logic of "mandatory integration", especially when you consider the Herculean volunteer effort that has gone into producing the suite. Integration is the main idea. The reason I'm toying around with using Seamonkey as a stand alone browser is because after the upgrade from Avast 4 to 5, Firefox 3.5.8 started freezing up fairly often, especially when adblock plus and flash were enabled. I really didn't expect much difference with Seamonkey, since I understand the browser versions are fairly close. Alas, I was right. You can still get a clearer, simpler graphical user interface with Seamonkey than with Firefox, and that is much to its credit, IMO. All other things being equal I prefer it. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
