The biggest problem you have is that Iceape 2.7.x is based on Gecko 10, while Icedove 17.0.x is based on Gecko 17. Given that for Gecko version < 19, a binary Gecko-version-specific component is required for Enigmail, the only way I can see to fix this is by having two Enigmail packages -- one for Iceape and one for Icedove. As of Gecko 19, Enigmail only requires a small C-library that does not depend on Mozilla code anymore. - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) iQEVAwUBUeTqIMk25cDiHiw+AQgl8wf+I9f3DV4JfHVutcEgCEuD1cSDVRK2lzs5 AtN2PxCJOBSrPPXiJTgzJ5Ub9Rbppu/jYrG+JAFYDNfQr+NDBKEhX/z9fZbvopl8 WE628Em+FPzdWUBQHcGk8iKRwmChaMzNKmSjknblgNaGOuOQkk+tSi7easnkTsc2 kDoXcUJJWWnNNOHnkVcKlMEMdy6SMTLQN5foLmuV4KsOoEsqWgwjSKrSSGhBPJ05 zl/ckrzjqpC028urkcPp8LFtgJtEesEDozR6msql0VdgcYP1WdIM0zkRPBe7QWJP Cslt9eYQx/csWYNXKuxsKKfcQF9D+JSO4P8+Us+cibdLXyfSQARtIg== =WXKX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
