After upgrading to thunderbird-45.5.1_6 I noticed that enigmail (and lightning) support were gone from thunderbird. I tried to find a replacement package until I read the svn log message: gecko: drop ENIGMAIL, LIGHTNING to simplify updates ENIGMAIL can still return as www/xpi-enigmail but, alas, xpi-* ports and their framework are mostly unmaintained. So this means that after a simple PORTREVISION change I cannot send, receive, or reread encrypted mails any more. I think a decision to remove such an essential component should not be taken so lightly, especially when the actual port version (45.5.1) has not even changed. What is being planned to remedy this unfortunate situation? -- Martin
