[Enigmail] No Longer - Incompatibility with Firefox?

[Peter Dzwig]

Cool!

No seriously thanks VERY much to all of you who offered help. I think that this
is a reminder NOT to try to do something like this when you are trying to fight
off a heavy cold.

Stupidity on my part, apologies to all...

BUT I have noticed that when I try to open some of your mails, (I haven't had
encrypted emails from anyone else yet) it hangs TB, causing XP to generate a
"application not responding" message and a request to MS.
