I have decided to stop supporting SeaMonkey with Enigmail. When Enigmail was created, it was an add-on for the Mozilla Suite (which was later renamed to SeaMonkey). I have therefore always continued supporting it, and didn't take this decision lightly. However, I think the time has come to say good-bye to SeaMonkey.
Here are my reasons: * The number of SeaMonkey users has significantly shrunk over the last years. The same is true for Enigmail-users with SeaMonkey. We remain at only around 850 users (which is less than 0.5% of all users of Enigmail). * SeaMonkey is close, but not identical to Thunderbird. There are a number of SeaMonkey-specific defects and workarounds in Enigmail. I don't think that the remaining number of users justifies that I continue to invest time into it. * The official "stable" version of SeaMonkey has not received any updates since SeaMonkey July 27, 2018 (which is comparable to Firefox 52). Since then there have been about 7 updates to Firefox/ Thunderbird with quite a number of security-related fixes. I therefore consider SeaMonkey no longer safe. Good-Bye SeaMonkey, you have been a good friend. -Patrick
