There are some workarounds. You could install thunderbird 68.8.0 directly from thunderbird.net, or get a better integrated installation from flathub.org. You could log into your CentOS 6 box from CentOS 8 and run thunderbird 68.8.0 remotely. No doubt there are others. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
