in http://www.20six.co.uk/__/easyPost_browserdetect.js it attempts to sniff out specific browsers but doesn't know about SeaMonkey, so it gets isGecko=true, but that's it.

in http://www.20six.co.uk/__/easyPost_richtext.js (in writeRTE)
	if (browser.isMozilla || browser.isFirebird || browser.isNS) { var buttonStyle="noMenuButton"; } else { var buttonStyle="menuButton"; }

so SeaMonkey gets a different button styling than other gecko browsers (and it looks bad)  That test is crying out to test for gecko instead of specific Apps.  Spoofing the user agent would fix it.

The submitting content being blank is harder to diagnose since I can't see what's happening on the server, but I can tell you that the last nightly build claiming to be Mozilla (from 2005-07-02) works and the first build claiming to be SeaMonkey (from later in the same day) doesn't work.  I'd guess that spoofing the user agent would fix that as well.

This currently works fine when spoofing as Camino.

works in SeaMonkey as well.  The JS files I referenced in comment 1 no longer exist, so they probably re-wrote their site.

Looks like it's working fine in a real Camino too.
