   My post to n.p.n.seamonkey was at 7:05. Your first post to me was 30   
   minutes later, at 7:35. I am in fact reading your messages and following   
   your suggestions. The link you posted,   
   news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.support.seamonkey, does not work. That's   
   why I had to use the http://forums.mozillazine... link.
