fedora 11 / thunderbird

[Matthew Gillen]

So the new Fedora includes a beta of Thunderbird 3.0.  Of course, the enigmail
extension doesn't support that version of t-bird with a stable release.  So I
tried the nightly build of enigmail (your only option for 3.0-beta versions of
t-bird), and I get some strange behavior:
 The message display area doesn't show decrypted text, it shows the raw
cipher-text.  But if I hit "reply", then the reply window quotes the decrypted
text.  So I have to read my messages by replying to them.

How funny is that?

Anyway, I wondered if anyone else was using enigmail on fedora 11, and if so,
how much success you were having.

Thanks,
Matt

Enigmail works fine with Thunderbird 3.0b2. I had the same issue
immediately after installing F11, but then I did a 'yum install enigmail'
Here is my RPM:
thunderbird-enigmail-0.96a-0.3.cvs20090521.fc11.x86_64

The one thing I miss is ReplytoList. That is supposed to be integrated
into TBird.

Hot damn, I didn't realize that enigmail was packaged, I'd always
fetched all my extensions directly from addons.mozilla.org.  I was
thinking today that it should be packaged...

I remember seeing that on a feature list for 3.0.  I'm waiting for that too.

Thanks,
Matt
