Since I never touch SeaMonkey's mail-news capabilities, I might be lumped with those who should use Firefox. However, I much prefer the user interface of SeaMonkey. Furthermore, SeaMonkey is retaining some capabilities that Firefox either has eliminated or will eliminate soon, such as a user-oriented interface for multiple profiles and displaying the UA string at [Help > About SeaMonkey]. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
