You'll have to continue updating by hand whenever you wish. I don't know but I presume that a subsequent 'official' update from Ubuntu would have the risk of taking you backwards to an earlier version of enigmail than the one you could be using if you manually take the latest from enigmail's website. Every time I'm offered a load of updates from Ubuntu, I try to watch for anything that will affect Thunderbird or enigmail and since Ubuntu's offering of Gnupg2 broke the gpg aspects of Thunderbird/enigmail on my machine, I'm watching for updates on that front too. I'm a little unhappy about relying on Ubuntu versions of Thunderbird, Firefox and enigmail. It takes us one step further from being able to check integrity. But for the moment, to do otherwise is beyond my pay grade. Philip
