You may also consider the opposite: dropping NSS usage in Evolution in favor of GnuTLS. NSPR and NSS are notoriously tough libraries for distribution packaging: every Gecko-based application insists on bundling them in its own special version. Also, the license on GnuTLS is more favorable. I believe NSS is necessary for S/MIME, not TLS. _______________________________________________ Evolution-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
