+The only differences between iceape and seamonkey are the names, icons and 
+some documentation references. The enigmail and enigmime packages are only 
+missing because I disabled them. And I did that because AFAIK they do not 
+work at all. If you could actually use features from those packages with 
+seamonkey 2.0.x please tell and I'll re-enable them.
+
+Anyway I hope I can get them to work and enable them soon since enrypted 
+and signed mail is an important feature IMHO. I doubt the "old" packages 
+will cause any problems in the meantime.

+The real problem is that the enigmail extensions do not work when 
+packaged. At least you reminded me I should take another look at that.
