I just updated from SM 2.17.1 to 2.26.1.
In browser:
I have my preferences set to display a blank page on startup.
In 2.17 that resulted in displaying a blank page *AND* an
empty(blank) address bar. With 2.17 there is a reminder that the
address bar is for address/search terms.
I understand the "logic" behind the chain. Can I have back the
desirable default?
I fail to see any harm in the default "Enter search term, keyword, or
web address". This appears whenever the address area is blank even if
the page itself is not blank.
I didn't say there was "harm".
It's a personal preference issue. I want it blank until I
personally put something there.
In mail/news:
Signature block (correct term?) now appears in lighter type
than body of the post. I find this annoying. Once again, any
work-around?
The signature block is gray instead of black to alert you to the fact
that the signature (and anything below it) will be removed automatically
when replying to the message. The indicator for this is the
dash-dash-space (-- ) on a line by itself at the beginning of the
signature block.
The "dash-dash-space" was always enough of an indication for me.
I find the shift in opacity distracting.
(You should see what my chosen defaults do to color schemes used
by some page designers who can't imagine anybody with imperfect
vision using their site [end rant;])
Not many versions ago, the capability was added to mail-news -- both
Thunderbird and SeaMonkey -- to suppress the dash-dash-space for E-mail.
As indicated in another reply in this thread, that capability depends
on the preference variable
mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator. If that is set
"true", your signature block will not be gray and will not be removed
when you reply to an E-mail message. Section 4.3 of RFC 3676, however,
requires that the dash-dash-space indicator be present at the start of
the signature block for newsgroup messages.
P.S. I go back to Netscape days and this was one of the smoother
upgrades.
