GRAB THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!
But first of all SeaMonkey must be REVITALIZED thoroughly and made a
[first-]class product. I left SeaMonkey a year ago very frustrated.
It appeared to be neglected, abandoned, undeveloped and unsupported.
And one of the worst complaints was messy texts with both Incoming
and Outgoing mails. Many letters of norwegian alphabet turn into
symbols like # & £ $ etc making reading an unpleasant task.
SeaMonkey is not "neglected, abandoned, undeveloped and unsupported,"
though of course if you sample enough people you'll find some who
disagree with some of the choices made by the developers.
As a professional translator, I routinely use SeaMonkey to send and
receive mail containing non-English characters, often using non-Western
writing systems, and generally have very little trouble with it. I
subscribe to fora on which other members post in all European languages
(including Norwegian), as well as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian,
Ukrainian, and many other languages, and I'm very satisfied with its
performance. I can't speak intelligently about its performance with
Arabic, Farsi, Indic, or Southeast Asian languages, but those don't seem
to be your problem.
Can you see these?
é, è, ê, ó, ò, â, and ô (e-acute, e-grave, e-circumflex, o-acute,
o-grave, a-circumflex, and o-circumflex)
And these?
Ææ, Øø, Åå (AEae, O/o/, A°a°)
How about these from Danish?
jeg stód op ("I was standing")
jeg stod óp ("I got out of bed")
hunden gør (det) ("the dog does (it)")
hunden gǿr ("the dog barks")
I left Mozilla and SeaMonkey because I simply had no choice. Now I want
to make a come back,because, again, I have no choice.
But...One condition only: SeaMonkey must be good, and I mean really damn
good!!!
I'm here, sticking with SeaMonkey, because I think it is "really damn
good!" In my experience, this forum is very helpful and is frequented by
experts including developers, so if you can be more specific about your
font/encoding issue, you /will/ get help.
