-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I have (as many do) multiple e-mail addresses. I use Iceape (SeaMonkey) with a number of these (mostly personal) addresses. I uses Icedove (Thunderbird) with a number of (mostly business oriented) addresses.
Until recently Debian had an Enigmail package which provided functionality for both mail clients. So far, so hunky dory. Debian have moved to a different model of following upstream packages - - instead of back-porting fixes into a previous release they're essentially mirroring what happens upstream. A new release of Icedove broke Enigmail, and Debian have decided that the best way to "fix" this is to ship a version of Enigmail tailored to Icedove. This version of Enigmail conflicts with the previously installed version and causes it's removal. This leaves Iceape users with a choice : 1. Don't upgrade, continue to use a vulnerable Icedove but have Enigmail for both mail clients. 2. Upgrade, use the fixed Icedove but have no Enigmail functionality for Iceape. At the moment I'm following option 1, as the vulnerabilities are mostly found in the html rendering & scripting functionality of Icedove. Html rendering & scripting are for web-pages, not e-mail - if you want to show me a web-page, send me a link. I'm not here to moan (well, maybe a little bit), but to find a solution. Iceape/Seamonkey users have been the poor cousins ever since Firefox/Thunderbird were hived off into separate projects and have been "left behind" before - I'm sure it will happen again. Should there be an Iceape Enigmail and an Icedove Enigmail? Is it possible to synchronise Enigmail to keep in sync with upstream projects? What resources would be required to ensure that users of both mail clients don't get dropped like this again? - -- Andy Ruddock - ------------ [email protected] (OpenPGP Key ID 0xB0324245) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJR5CqbAAoJECqtbbewMkJFvMoP/j9hMmGj3JAm85gXRB2E0YUw tuYbP4P3i+ByTOe5cKwdgxEdniypgbwQD/xbiKRnNgtvAc+RbPe8LZdi7vVTSE77 6yq5oXUkHxOub/f8Fy/3OEKaIuBWIq73JVCYa8r2l41RGNAmel9CMaT631kfPHeH flNCWqMHNfRktQ5KuqtjU62RiWeN9ffLNT7xTU7Gu3MjOI/KbkcYPW7l+WVba3Ka NpQaghzEJ445VAnGo237/nyyk2WRB4Mo/xB5TVpLn3jCR2vz4U0BzNJTFT5XyQmi K49hc6ozUfwfVZOv1dX0EIB3Iw+md2RdAEefWRvP7TeH321xzw9qk3MmNHi7eeir S9RMHSktgfVfqisqu/qps1kFQHMYrOJERYauf8ZCU+kwRi7cK9qKQZ0fel5ZlJbh F6Pu3ieymSU1GSl7yxa+2nE/R8b3cVq5ud5h98jfT1No+k4ZgG+eAYFYPO+XnzLs WuO9X4rZp4I80y1CnuQNySkWjC5WDX1En3/bqVZkJ2J8manAOv4il9BM+MMGJ0Ts YQfUOMMEaNLK0HG7ufXAXR0eCfbQ57HBK09p6R+92//Z59zPxmd1hEiO2jvuZOwV z/SecluAllLZgAkKZAHKuxksBex3b+zExDt5Dc7Jo6rGDlX7BH8e8gw+StrB30ta akyBQVJoSPDUUU1f+igO =oy34 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
