[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#808645: xul-ext-sieve: 'Method not implemented' when calling method: [nsIProtocolHandler::newChannel]

[Daniel Gnoutcheff]

Package: xul-ext-sieve
Version: 0.2.3d-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

All attempts to connect to a ManageSieve server stall with the following
message in the error console:

> 'Method not implemented' when calling method: [nsIProtocolHandler::newChannel]

I believe this to be a regression, as I remember this used to work.
Perhaps it was broken by recent Icedove security updates?

It goes away if I install 0.2.3h from upstream.

Probably this upstream bug:
  https://github.com/thsmi/sieve/issues/42

Would like to see this backported to jessie.
