I have started to work on Enigmail nearly 12 years ago, and for the
vast majority of the time (> 90%) I was the only person to develop
code for Enigmail during my free time. For the next release of
Enigmail, I have developed so far fixes and features for 21 out of 26
bug reports and enhancement requests. I consider myself therefore the
leader of the development; hence your mail addresses me in the first
place.

If I get you right, then you're telling me that you did like Enigmail
in the past, even though I'm a stubborn developer who does not listen
end users and ignore bug reports and feature requests systematically.
This sound a bit weird to me, to say the least.

The truth is that we're trying to reduce the complexity of encryption
as this is the main hurdle for spreading its use. Now this is not
something straight forward, and we're on a learning curve. Believe it
or not, but this includes getting feedback from end users, distill the
results and try to improve with the next versions.

You're very welcome to do that.



A happy new year to everyone on this mailing list
