Am I missing something?
FWIW, I collected a list of bugs that are either only related to GnuPG 1.4, or that are only there because we still support GnuPG 1.4. I'm sure there are more bugs that my quick search didn't find. Most of these bugs are "wont-fix", but in fact they are all true unfixed bugs. If I would want to fix all of these bugs _properly_, I'd estimate it would take at least a full release cycle and cause major changes to the code in Enigmail. https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/search/?q=labels%3Agpg1.4 - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU1fWdAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7TjQP/RLZxGbnfIBVxm44yzC9ObeQ WaLza3fVM7A2HwbOOIcOR2uLWyg0YRzPWwvHn7YI7H1VnwOCUPJxcAlV5aGUMjVi BAIbcaPW2EDvGqn7MoGEvHWK0iAerZEJQ/DSHUOLdnsqHael+B1nwnMiUZ3cLQOf WB5IxzAhDL6DjzZGhJyHR6d5YiC3ujqgC6wxsSKKdi9O3uNXJjprufapR/9lNoxr IqTrsEKNBOcdW7cmCweRVQZ+m8hyAQrsXrMGaxXiAhjsHxPLIjZQpYvXmGjUbPSY ymLHFbRIVTjwSX6cq+KixtZv7aaQo5AC5+CPEM4XFNhMLXPQyo+a7VgUJPKA5KpO CwYI3kCj+ruOtVYEK5OM92h71XqiyiJ34fcxSHcS58dqXTdv6RmJrErmA9tGDMOO DPzhMl2XCcC9L4V6BQ3T03JqidRkycUDIhSDd5FkK0vi9JsmqOVekcTOcQthU02l VXiXQ2mavWxHpjdloWpJu6pZW7a/jzHoNsQKzC6ftpYocpEvwgpoYnseQCzIeyOX +P0GOTxVC45yLsRXU4Vl6xK6Zx4TCG3U4LXsA8FLiIz1hDz7TQLxGK2VLtrUu1QA yRoIKAlXZjJ5aoR+Sbi7dumHlt3DdZlEU1IN1vnz79qUING2qwzyYnY3crR3lbh/ OUeqkSBrA/MYfv4mY1nN =lvs9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
