Given that Mozilla have now shown their true colours and announced the
death of the Mozilla Suite.
http://www.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html
Does anybody have an alternative suite that can be used to provide
browsing/eMail/composer interlinked in the one windows/linux package.
ALL my sites use Mozilla for help, eMail support and logging, and rely
on html edit as an integrated function, but it looks as if I am going to
have to start working out how to get non-suite components to play nicely
together.
I've been trying to use OpenOffice as an html editor but it simple isn't
up to the job, and I have not found anything that is as simple to as the
<ctrl>E edit from Mozilla.
Since it is now obvious that the Firefox browser will NOT be integrated
as a replacement for the seamonkey browser, then claims that the name
was just a internal project name are now well and truly dead, but the
sidelining of the only decent suite does seem to be a major bummer. I
know we can count on Borland for messing us up, but I though Open Source
was about mutual support :(
Oh well - perhaps it's just another push to get the Tikipro/Firebird
package working fully and just use Firefox as a dumb viewer ;)
