Okay thanks for that earlier clarification Patrick :)

Just to be clear, it doesn't matter what I do (allow or disable
automatic updates). There will be no more support for enigmail in the
future at all?

At this point, to continue using enigmail, I've frozen the updates on
my workstations.

The latest update to Interlink is a/o 07 June, so  three-ish weeks,
and twice the previous month. It has Linux support but there is no
SlackBuild package for Slackware, although that's trivial considering
they have tarballs for GTK 2&3 at the dev's website.

I suppose it would be okay to move forward with OpenPGP in
Thunderbird, but I've been using Enigmail for so long I just feel like
I would be missing some kewl features that I've come to depend on.

Maybe some folks on this list could chime in on that last concern of min
e?
