Hi Mr. Beich,

I just wanted to thank you for the hard work you're doing in maintaining all 
the gecko stuff and especially the SeaMonkey port. SeaMonkey is pretty 
important to me as I really like its composer and mail features. I've come to 
realize how difficult it is getting this stuff just to compile on FreeBSD and 
I really appreciate that you're taking your own personal time to provide the 
gecko ports to the community.

Anyway, thanks again, and take care!

Andreas

That question is rather broad. What exactly does not work, and how
does the existing port not help with that? Yes, there's some
patching required, but from the experience with the last updates
it's doable.

Regards,
Christoph
