Thank you James, but this is a system which has been updated regularly, at |
| 25 |
least once a week. The only exception being KDEPIM which was masked as |
| 26 |
advised by the maintainers for those who found Kmail2 unsuitable for their |
| 27 |
systems. So, on this system I've stayed with 4.4 as advised here: |

|

|
| 32 |
After all these years, this is the first time that 4.4 has come up with a |
| 33 |
blocker, hence my email to this list. |
