Well according to SeaMonkey Project News http://www.seamonkey-project.org/news on Feb 4th there was a release stating "As part of Mozilla's ongoing stability and security update process, SeaMonkey 2.15.2 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux as a free download from www.seamonkey-project.org." This led me to believe that Mozilla still provides support for SeaMonkey. Correct me if I'm wrong. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
