KaiRo,
Is there something in the new toolkit that prevents continued-use of the Firefox-import extension "NewsFox"-tab/page/component/application in SeaMonkey?
I particularly like the way I can enter and remove feeds at-will, and only get the most recent number of headings etcetera that I nominate. It is very user-friendly, and given the restrictiveness of the Mail-News-client, would not it be nicer to leave RSS in the browser as an extension? We don't write to RSS do we?

Thunderbird has Lightning but is some-problem stopping SeaMonkey having a calendar?
I realize you are knee-deep in the fight, and that I am an outside interested-observer, but would such functions and features be easier handled as extensions, that can easily be added or removed, given the speed of development and deprecation of modern Internet functions?

By the way, Robert - Just a comment re:- Composer-2007-08-13.
Development on the interface has removed most of the toolbar icon control, but kept pretty-nearly all function in places like main file-menu etcetera, but the "text-color-highlight" function, has been deprecated-completely, and as far as I search, is not in any menu. Is text-highlight-discontinuance a permanent change?
Keep up the top-shelf work!

Hi, I'm interested in migrating the download manager to mozStorage. Since I'm new to SeaMonkey (as a developer anyway, I've been a user for a while) I'm looking for some guidance: Does it make sense to start by getting familiar with the back-end mozStorage part first or since (I assume) most of the work will ultimately involve the UI, would starting with that first make more sense? I was able to build SeaMonkey 2.0a1pre on win32 successfully. Now, I'm just starting to learn by digging into the toolkit and reading the documentation about build system.
