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. > I hope I will find the time and be in a mood to write a new > Icedove/Thunderbird-AddOn, so I can put Enigmail to the trash bin > and you can complain about my AddOn. You're very welcome to do that.
