The impression I get is that Seamonkey was developed by a group of people that didn't like the way Firefox was going. Since I too don't like the way Firefox is going, that makes me an ideal candidate. Looking at Seamonkey's home page (https://www.seamonkey-project.org), it seems to be a sanctioned offshoot. "Legal backing is provided by the Mozilla Foundation." I use the Seamonkey browser exclusively now, under both Linux and Windows. And when I discovered that a site with a pathetic webmail server also supported IMAP, I set up Seamonkey's mail client to access it. Works like a charm. -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way. X Top-posted messages will probably be ignored.
