Hi,
For the lack of a dedicated Thunderbird mailing list, I am forced to ask
here.
I am using Debian Buster. I have set up a custom header (X-no-archive)
using this guide:
https://www.lifewire.com/arbitrary-custom-heading-email-thunderbird-1173089
It works fine, but I have to click on the double arrows (top right) all the
time and then type "Yes"
Is there a way to have this header with a default value "Yes" attached to all
outgoing messages automatically?
I have no experience using Thunderbird, and next-to-no experience
using any mozilla product whatsoever. Caveat lector.
Sometimes I read stuff here, though:
[a sort of wiki for mozilla things]
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Knowledge_Base
Today the kb.mozillazine.org server seems to be having some trouble,
but there is this page at the wayback machine:
Custom headers - MozillaZine Knowledge Base (archived 2020-02-03)
Add custom headers
https://web.archive.org/web/20200429000209/http://kb.mozillazine.org/Custom_headers#Add_custom_headers
[...]
Thunderbird 1.5 added the ability to add a custom header to every
message you send using a identity (From: address), without having to
do anything when composing the message. It requires at least two
preferences be added to prefs.js. One preference lists the name of
the preferences that define each custom header for that
identity. The others specify the custom header and the value. For
example:
user_pref("mail.identity.idN.headers", "archive");
user_pref("mail.identity.idN.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
where 'N' is the appropriate id number. Notice that while the custom
header is X-No-Archive its defined using a different name. You could
add two custom headers for id3 using:
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.headers", "archive, gazette-tag");
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.header.gazette-tag", "X-gazette-tag:
Bubba");
You can look in prefs.js or use
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor
to find the number of the identity. The simplest way to find the id
value might be to search for the email address.
mail.identity.id1.useremail for example contains my default email
address.
My guess is it is probably not possible, but you never know. Thanks.
Good luck.

The correct owner of /run/user/1000 is 1000, not 0. What probably happened here is you logged in as your normal unprivileged user (with UID 1000) and then used something like su to temporarily gain elevated privileges -- but whatever method you used left some of your regular user's environment variables intact. These environment variables will refer to directories like /run/user/1000 which are yours, and not root's. I have noticed the same problem on other software packages. I have searched the internet for answers to this and have found dozens of cases with dozens of different ways to fix the problem, none of which seem to work for me. As a first suggestion, it sounds like whatever you're doing expects a complete login environment belonging to root, rather than one belonging to you but with temporary powers granted. So, try launching a complete root login environment with "su -" or with "sudo -i" and see if that helps. Or, if you prefer, drop to a text console (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-F2) and login directly as root there. Or, if you prefer, and if you've configured your system to allow it, you could try "ssh root@localhost".
Re: LXD installation breaks Debian 11 RC1 network.

That's all very vague. You need to specify a sequence of who has to do what, where, and how. After that, you have the problem of how/where you suspend this process until all^H^H^H the replies are received. (BTW I would suggest a quorum.)

So it is doing what it says it is doing, adding the repo. No, I can read echo too; it's the command before that one. I wrote: "I notice that it pipes the output of curl straight into sudo'd commands without a care in the world" and the second version uses "wget -O-" ≡ "curl -s". > The key is validated by gpg. > > The curl version is dubious because it doesn't validate the key, so it > could contain a ; and some other commands. I don't see any validation of the key. IOW I don't see who is represented by that key. You could just check the signal .deb file against a SHA sum published on their page. That's what I meant. The only difference appears to be that the first post puts the ascii version onto the keyring, whereas the second puts the binary version. I assume apt is unfazed by the difference. > But I don't know why anyone > would follow those instructions for students. That was the first set. The second set of instructions was on https://signal.org and I assume that's the homepage for signal. I presume that people would follow them to install the package, and that you didn't. (I don't know what you did.) > None of this shows that installing signal added the ppa.launchpad.net > repo.. That wasn't my intent: Greg had dealt with that, in that one can examine /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.p* for any "foreign" packages, and read what they would have done when one installed them. > So it is not self inflicted. The sysadmin who executes the echo line above (step 2) would be the person who added the repository, so that would be self-inflicted. Where I wouldn't use that term in when the change was indirectly made in, say, a script that was itself downloaded. Let me make it clear: this is not an accusation against you. All you did was to mention "signal", whereupon I showed how somebody might follow foreign instructions for installing a foreign package, casually add a line to their sources.list, and, job done, forget all about it. Signal just happened to be a perfect example, in that one could cut and paste either of those instruction sets off the screen, all without really digesting what they did. Again, not an accusation. We're casting around for explanations of how a line like http://ppa.launchpad.net/audio-recorder/ppa/ubuntu got into *your* sources.list. I can only make suggestions about possible mechanisms, not determinations. You're the one who presumably wants to do that. Cheers, David.

About 10-15 years ago, largely as a coding exercise / proof of concept, I wrote "mailmin", a Perl program that allows access to a remote system via signed / encrypted email. I am not a security expert or even a very skilled hobbyist, so it's strictly amateur-hour stuff, and undoubtedly horribly insecure, and in any event, it doesn't use the PAM framework, so I doubt it'll be of much use to you, but it was a somewhat similar idea ... https://sourceforge.net/projects/mailmin/ Celejar

If you have users who can bear to potentially wait a matter of days before knowing whether they're permitted to access a system, then I guess this could work.

Thanks. One way to do this would be to run your own Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) such as exim, postfix etc. This would become the SMTP server to which Thunderbird passes the message. You would configure the MTA to add the required header and then forward all messages to the next SMTP erver (which is probably your ISP's SMTP server). This MTA could, conceivably, run on the same host as Thunderbird (e.g. a laptop). For postfix, for example, you would read http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.htm to get started. The header addition would be achieved either with PREPEND header_check (http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html) or by configuring the AlterMIME milter (http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html) in the case that you feel like you might want to do more mail manipulation later. > > -- > Ottavio Caruso > > OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Felix,
it is not clear which version of Debian you are using. Also there is
multimedia with far better quality.
I guess you needs specific fonts for being able to play videos with
subtitles and as developers do not know what everybody has installed they
build with specific font dependency that is free and can be used for that
purpose.
Another options is that you are doing clean install and now catching up with
your environment.
PS
long time ago I gave up with Gnome and all the gnomes and later with KDE. I
stick to TDE and I use kplayer with mplayer
And I do not have either fonts-urw-base35 or imagemagick-common
I am not sure if this one liner is sufficient, but it shows that there are
no such dependencies in those
$ for p in $(apt-cache depends kplayer-trinity | awk '{print $2}'|
grep -v '<' | xargs); do echo $p; apt-cache depends $p; done | grep font
