There's a mailing list of release announcements: There is also the sylpheed-announce ML (sylpheed-annou...@sraoss.jp) which deals only with release announcements. I suppose this has been added after the bug got reported. In any case now you can disable it in configure, since I think makes little sense in Debian, and close the bug. Best regards, José Luis
