I'm getting SeaMonkey 1.0.2

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060607
Fedora/1.0.2-1.fc6 SeaMonkey/1.0.2


THe only problem that I encountered with seamonkey vs. mozilla was
trying to install the stand-alone calendar mozilla had for a version. I
never use it. I just installed the calendar to see what it could do.

After saving the draft in seamonkey mail. Opening it up again using 
mozilla mail. I get the below version information in the about.

There is no inline spellchecker in mozilla mail. The typos are probably 
higher in the later part of this mail. The spellchecker in-line are 
enough to use seamonkey vs. mozilla. The dead or slowed down care for 
mozilla itself are enough to use seamonkey over mozilla.

Mozilla 1.7.13

Fedora/1.7.13-1.1.fc5
