cannot send email with SeaMonkey 2.53 after switch from Linu

[ryancw9]

I made the change described in the subject line. I like to use SeaMonkey for all my internet activity, so I installed it in my new 20.3 MATE--not via Synaptic since it was not offered but by downloading from the SeaMonkey website and uzipping into /opt. Then I copied by profile folder from my old /home/rcw/.mozilla/seamonkey directory into the corresponding location in my new 20.3. Then I used profile manager to point my new SM to that profile folder, newly copied over. All IMAP mail was readily available. I can get new mail. But when I compose a new email to send, nothing happens when I click the SEND button. Just nothing, Nor can I save a newly composed email to Drafts--again, nothing happens. No error messages.

I'm using SM 2.53 with the Orthodox for SeaMonkey 0.1.3 theme. on Linux Mint 20.3 MATE, on a computer with 64G of RAM.

Extensions (should be same as on my older Linux Mint installation where email worked fine:
ChatZilla 0.10 true
DOM Inspector 2.0.19 true
DownThemAll! 3.0.9 true
Enigmail 2.0.9 true
FlashGot 1.5.6.14 true
Folderpane Tools 0.6.1 true
Lightning 5.8.10.2 true
Mail Redirect 0.10.9 true
Metal Lion Sea Monkey Scrollbars II 2.0.1.8 true
NoScript 5.1.8.4 true
uBlock Origin 1.13.8 true
User Agent Switcher 0.7.3.1-signed.1-signed true
PDF Viewer 1.0.277.1-signed.1-signed false

I made one change to userChrome, adding:

Code: Select all

/* Change color of active tab */
tab{
   -moz-appearance: none !important;
   }
tab[selected="true"] {
   background-color: rgb(0,0,255) !important;
   color: white !important;
   }

Anyone with the experience before? Advice?

Thanks.

• 
  Check this old thread (... in case it has something to do with your problem):
• This may break custom themes for email composition because a new style sheet named "messageQuotes.css" has been added
  
  Also check:
• Have you tried sending messages using one of the default themes?
• Have you tried in Safe Mode?
  (Help > Restart with Add-0ns Disabled)

[....] Thanks.

• You're welcome!

Of course! Problem was the "Orthodox" theme add-on. Thanks for reminding me. Got rid of that, and the stock theme SEND button works fine. Too bad--I liked that old-school look.

If you are looking for a classic theme, this one may appeal:

  If you follow the instructions provided by Anonymosity, and copy the messageQuotes.css file from omni.ja,
  and adds it into the messenger folder in the theme installer, that will fix the problem.
  
  But, you should probably notify the theme author, about this issue.

  At least, this theme, has the file 'messageQuotes.css'
