This would be Seamonkey, that I use to compose and send emails with,
even tho I'm less happy with it than I once was.  ;-)

Yea, it's shorter spelled that way and sometimes my o and u fingers get
crossed up.  Those keys on the keyboard are wearing thin too.  lol

Well, most old timers know I have this occasional hiccup with my email
program.  I upgrade and it starts sending HTML and all sorts of crazy

are pulling in the hole if needed.  lol
