Yes sure, the same was true for me! However, I see things are rapidly deteriorating. New releases are done every couple of months, but they break things in the composer and when bugs are filed the reply is always "but the composer is no longer maintained, you should not use it anymore". The people who write that often don't even realize that the same code used in the composer is also used when composing HTML mail, and the same new bugs are also popping up there, slowly making the mail part of Seamonkey unusable for HTML mail. And in the meantime, the forked standalone Mozilla mail program, Thunderbird, also has entered this "unmaintained" state. So we can expect more and more mail bugs to also creep into Seamonkey and never be fixed, or slowly. See the big IMAP problems of last year. In the end there will be only Firefox, and even there the users are rapidly running away because they get fed up with new releases that are announced to be "to fix security bugs" but in reality are just the snapshot of ongoing development, with many arbitrary changes that users often don't agree with. I think it is a big pity. It all worked so well in the past, I have happily used this software since 1996 or so and at work we used it since 2001. However, it all is coming to an end. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
