Details

Using today's latest commercial build on MAC, located at: ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/macos/8.x/ppc/1999-11-17-08-M12/netscap e5-mac-M12.sea.bin Please try the following: Install and launch the browser Click on the "Tasks| Mail" menu option. Set up a new Mail account if you do not have one already. Click OK.The Mail Window opens up. Select the newly created account from the Mail Folders window on the left. Now click on the "New Message" icon on top. Observe that a "Compose" window opens up. Type a emaila ddress in the "To" field and press ENTER key on the keyboard. Observe that the cursor blinks on the "To" field as well as the field below it at the same time. Now point the mouse in the "Subject" field and click to enter text in the field. Observe that the cursor blinks in this field too. Now , focus the mouse pointer in the Textarea to write a message and click the mouse button. Observe that the browser closes and the system hangs. To launch the browser again, I have to restart the computer. The cursor blinking problem mentioned above is also observed on Linux, but message can be composed and sent without any crash on Linux.

Sure. No problem. using Mac build (1999-11-22-08 M12) IMAP/POP: Compose and send works fine. Linux (1999-11-22-08 M12) Win_nt 4.0 (1999-11-22-08 M12) I also try it on Linux and Win_nt. They work fine too.
