I have tried to update to thungerbird 2.0.0.12 and enigmail 0.95.6 yesterday
and there is still a problem. enigmime doesnt work.
FreeBSD etustar.ze.tum.de 7.0-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-PRERELEASE #3: Mon Jan 7
07:39:02 CET 2008 root at etustar.ze.tum.de:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/ETUSTAR
amd64
Using USE_GCC=3.4 doesn't solve the problem. I ahve not found a solution. As I
need Enigmail i have downgraeded to thungerbird 2.0.0.9 and enigmail 0.95.5
both compiles with gcc34.
So there seams to be a different problem.
Regards
Gerhard
