Since both bugs 232562 and 507908 are specifically Thunderbird bugs, separate SeaMonkey bugs might be appropriate. Check the following bug reports before submitting a new one: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64426> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208525> The user interface (UI) for SeaMonkey differs in some respects from the UI for Thunderbird. I'm not really familiar with the SeaMonkey UI for mail-news. I use Thunderbird for a newsreader because I don't want to shut down and restart my newsreader when I change browser profiles. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
