Thank you for your response. Before I do install the sane-git ppa I
would like to inform you that I do currently have the sane-release ppa
installed. I have enclosed a screenshot of update manager displaying
this information as well as the underlying packages from sane-release
that are currently installed. -> Software Sources ->
sane-project/sane-release -> open ->
libsane1,libsane,libsane-common,sane-utils are all 'ticked'. I have
verified they are installed .........
1. If I enable the sane-git ppa I could possibly have conflicts between
it and sane-release ppa. I have experienced this before actually and
received some great help with the issue.
2. Can I ask what the safest way to proceed by doing this would be?
Possibly I can simply untick sane-project/sane-release in software
sources and add the following through the terminal by following the
steps below?:
Adding this PPA to your system

I began to use Thunderbird mail client and discovered that I can read
the sane-devel daily digest much more easily now.
Thanks,
Coincidentally, this was just fixed (hopefully)!
Pick up the sane-git PPA, which should contain a fix as of this morning:
https://launchpad.net/~sane-project/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git
The relevant issues are here:

Cheers,
