It works for TBird 5.0. However, the extension's install.rdf file is not setup for SeaMonkey. See <https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Extensions_support_in_SeaMonkey_2> if you want to tweak the file to use the extension in SeaMonkey. The install.rdf file is embedded within the extension's XPI file, which is actually a ZIP file. Using a zip application (e.g., WinZip in Windows), extract install.rdf, edit it per that Web page, and then re-insert it back into the XPI file. Note that, even with install.rdf setup, the extension might still not work with SeaMonkey. In that case, you might try using Thunderbird. -- David E.
