Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.61
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Tiago,
as this is my first time sending a bug report I hope to do this the right way.
As requested in your last mail I file this bug report.
As you might remember the feature idea for apticron was to send the mails
encrypted.
I'll try to append the patch file.
Best wishes,
Matthias
