Can you provide a reference to the steps necessary to accommodate the
spoofing and the text of the spoofs? I would really like to read up
on the process before I jump into it.
BTW, I run SeaMonkey 2.0.13 on XP and on Win7-64bit.
Thanks, Jay

There's more than one way to go about spoofing. Ultimately, the setting
you're working with is in your prefs.js file,
general.useragent.override. You can edit the prefs.js directly with a
text editor, or get to it via putting about:config in the Seamonkey
address bar. However, once you make a change, if you want to change to
something else (e.g., you make a temporary change), then you have to
repeat the process each time you change.
For me, the strong preference is in using PrefBar, which allows for
quick, on-the-fly changes. That way, if I'm at a site that doesn't like
Seamonkey, then I can grab the spoofing I want at that particular moment.
The defaults offered by PrefBar are mostly old, and so you generally
have to do some editing to account for more current versions. You
probably won't want/need to spoof Netscape 1.7.3 for Linux very often...
As noted previously, inserting "SeaMonkey/2.0.13 NOT " before "Firefox/"
(at the end of the string) is a good way of spoofing so that "Firefox"
will satisfy the site in question, but that you're showing "Seamonkey",
and that it shows up in the logs. That's something that I found by
reading the archives of this group.
Most of the time, spoofing this way works, but I do occasionally hit
sites that do browser sniffing differently, and as a result, I do keep a
spoof string that is a full copy of a valid string presented by Firefox.
Right now, this is what Yahoo is doing with its beta.

I would like this information too, as far as exactly how to do this.
