SeaMonkey, Win7 and attachments

Hi all,

I use SeaMonkey exclusively and I've noticed that when I boot to my W7 drive, when I go to any of my e-mail accounts, I can't add an attachment to the e-mail. It acts like it's doing something, but nothing happens. I can only add attachments when I use IE.

Is this the right forum to post this question?

 

I don't, fully, understand the question, but I don't have Win7.
But Seamonkey has e-mail, and IE does not. It is a browser only like Firefox. Is this webmail that we are comparing?

 

Hi Westside,

It's a Win 7 \ SeaMonkey issue. When I'm in XP, there's no problem adding attachments to e-mails. However, when I'm in Win 7 and I go to a webmail account, when I click "Attach" nothing happens. That's the problem.

It seems W7 and SeaMonkey don't play nice with each other; unless there's something I'm missing here.

 

Win 7 is too new to pass judgment. However, Seamonkey is not accepted at a number of sites.

 

Hi Westside,

That's the reason I inquired a couple of weeks ago about spoofing the user agent string. The answer I got referred me to a site, but there wasn't any info on what to change the user agent string to.

If I can find out what to change the string to, I'd be able to do it to SeaMonkey and see if it played nice in and with W7. And from what I've experienced so far is that SeaMonkey performs kinda poorly with W7 in that some pages are slow to load, don't render properly, or work at all. Whereas with XP, it's smooth sailing all the way; even on sites that are wonky with 7.

Info on string change?

 

1. Get Prefbar extention v.4.2.
2. Using Customize, find User Agent, and set it as a button. I just double click on User Agent. It will be placed to the far left, and Real UA is default. To change to be Seamonkey, with Win XP UA, click on the + button at the bottom of the list. Name it Seamonkey, and the UA string is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22) Gecko/20090605 SeaMonkey/1.1.17
Of course, this assumes that Win7 will accept the extention. To get it to work, click on the down arrow next to UA, and select: Seamonkey. If it is selected any site should behave as if it uses XP.
P.S: I am using the Mozilla1.0 Win98 spoof, now, as a test.
