For those few sites too stupid to sniff for "Gecko," why not just lie to
them and spoof FF?
That's what 2.1 does. And it's not beta any more, it's RC, which means
it's as good as release, with just minor adjustments to be made still.

Personally I don't think we should have to lie about our browser. That said,
I do use 'PrefBar' and spoof when I have to - but I still don't like to.
I normally e-mail to whatever site it is that doesn't like SM (the webmaster or
help desk) with the following text:
======================================================================
I use SeaMonkey - Your system will not support it, although other Gecko based
mail systems are supported."
You may not be aware that SeaMonkey is a suite (mail & browser combined) as was
Netscape & Mozilla.
It is basically Firefox and Thunderbird rolled into one program. You are
supporting other Gecko based software, why not SeaMonkey?
Perhaps your powers-to-be should read: http://geckoisgecko.org/
And going further a quote from Wikipedia: "Gecko is the second most-popular
layout engine on the World Wide Web, after Trident (used by Internet Explorer
for Windows since version 4), and followed by WebKit (used by Safari & Google
Chrome) and Presto (used by Opera)."
And I'm thinking that you don't support it because it adheres pretty much to the
W3C standards for HTML and CSS."
'Nuff said.
======================================================================
Most answers are:
"We only support the most common browsers."
"I never heard of SeaMonkey"
And one actually reported a change in his sniffing to recognize SeaMonkey.
