   Tristan,   
      
   The Seamonkey News-Group you used to ask for advice just over a year ago   
   is in the process of closing.  It is still available and one of the very   
   last posts there explains what has replaced it.   
   (Subject "support-seamonkey list / newsgroup" from just after midnight   
   this morning)   
      
   In addition an interested party founded alt.comp.software.seamonkey (and   
   .firefox, .thunderbird) which are also available via aioe.   
   The developer who helped back then is one of those who uses it.   
      
   Hope that helps, and thanks for caring!
