Simple fix: do NOT configure the e-mail window to open on startup. Only open the browser window on startup. Once the browser opens, click on the little envelope in the bottom left of the window, and the e-mail window will open. Now the buttons will be in the order that you like, with only a single click. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
