    Troubling security news for sarge users of mozilla, firefox, and
    thunderbird is unfolding on debian-security:

    Alexander Sack has backported thunderbird 1.06:
    http://www.asoftsite.org/s9y/archives/84-Sarge-Backport-Release-Thunderbird-1.0.6-1-and-enigmail-0.92.0-1-uploaded.html

    Yet I'm wondering how other sarge users are going to address the
    security concerns? Backport, install from Mozilla tarball, upgrade to
    unstable, change to kmail/konqueror?

    How are you weighing the options?
