Re: [orca-list] Thunderbird and Addons

Well, I need it since it's required by the company I work for.

I'm not normally that security conscious myself, but as with most things
"need" is in the eye of the beholder. There are quite a few people who
are much more security conscious than I am, and hey, more power to them!
It's not for me to criticize. I'm sure there are things I worry over
that others think are pretty trivial.
