Hello Stefaan,

Not sure I understand all you write (my english is very poor) but I can certify that I understand the sense.
I can also certify that :
- I have always compiled my-self sylpheed (manies versions),
- I well know what is a signal 11 and I have not had it,
- I pass more time on manies shell-windows than others screens. 

With the help of Ricardo I have searched how firefox is now called and supressing "mozilla-" and ... this works well now.
For some others things, like to have the numbers of mails, I have found my self, but this was automatic with sylpheed-1.x or above.
 
I don't know from where come "mozilla-firefox", wraisemblably from my old sylpheed-parameters and it is true that if firefox has changes is name, sylpheed is not gulty. 

I give the french translation of messages because, at less, the french users can understand of what I said : if I try to reverse from french to english (I absolutly don't know japanese) nobody can understand.

I'm really sorry, so you can smile ^-)
