Here is a screenshot of my whole MailNews. http://www.triffids.de/pub/screenshot/sm171217-c.png The green in the thread pane indicates messages which are a reply of one of my own messages. >To select an account, I left-single-click the name in the account and >folder list (I suppose a right-click would also do, but it also pulls up >an unwelcome context menu).

How can a message be selected in the folder pane? There are only accounts and groups. >> I will not speak for 2) because I haven't used it in the past and thus >> don't know the behavior of ancient SMs like yours.

On what >planet? :-) *g* Currently I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/2017121703 SeaMonkey/2.56a1-h Your Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.1 is seven generations older. A lot has happened in this time. Apropos bugs, there seems to be a new one in my new SM from today. The automatic switching of the dictionary to English did not work when I entered mozilla.mozilla.support.seamonkey. I had to do that manually. Annoying. On the other hand, it is also annoying to chase a bug. Hm.
