It requires more than Enigmail.
No, Enigmail is one of the extension which enables this extension. (Although I never tried using it without Enigmail. As I said, I had this one installed much earlier.) >>> About time.

Since Thunderbird/Icedove users on Debian will have the patch included anyway, the might be interested in the old extension. >>> The only thing I use Thunderbird for these days is reading RSS feeds, which >>> it's quite good at. >> I do that within Opera.

I did use Opera much more earlier than Thunderbird. In the beginning I was satisfied with Webmail (GMX) but after some time I tried Thunderbird and it was rather nice.

Works rather good if only I hadn’t so much of them. The check is pretty consuming … > To each their own > I guess. It’s freedom of choice after all. Regards, Mathias -- debian/rules
