Thanks for the update! Although not-ready doesn't describe what is lacking and doesn't support neither. I'm nitpicking on this since it's not clear to me that Thunderbird will support GTK+2 long enough so we might have to switch at some point. AFAIK Carsten intends to switch back to GTK+2 for Jessie but it would be great if you could go hunting for patches since we might be forced to switch to GTK+3 at some point in the future. Cheers, -- Guido
