i hadn't realized that was ever shipped in icedove-dev.  if it was,
that'd be nice to bring back.

Well, let's start with what we've got, and as we discover (or someone
asks for) earlier versions, we can do that sort of digging then.

That sounds good to me.  I want to be clear that i really appreciate
your work and am hoping you'll continue to do it -- that is, this is not
a hijack attempt! :)  And at the same time i think that making packages
team-maintained and having well-published source in sensible revision
control is the way to go.

Thanks for taking the time to publish this, and for all your work on the
package.
