The 3.5 Icedove must have been the best choice when Squeeze was frozen.

By the way, the header in your reply doesn't have an In-reply-to field.
Not that it should be needed; being redundant to the last id of the
References. That is sufficient for the debian list manager to make the
thread.

Yes, Squeeze (6.0.5) included iceweasel 3.5.16.

Mmm, yes, you're right. Let's see how this post goes out (I've just
tweaked a setting within Pan).

That they stick to the default browser (e.g., Epiphany)?

Well, maths are not usually confronted with common sense: if you see
several versions available and you don't know what they are, you can ask
before blindly installing one of them :-)

Uh? Nothing? What a surprise :-?

Well, I would be also interested in deciphering aptitude logic but to be
sincere, I'm not an aptitude user, I always go with apt-get, I find it to
be more clear and comprensible...

Nice.

But I still prefer to get the packages directly from Mozilla site,
they're always up-to-date and easy to install (but don't put this in the
wiki or you'll be prosecuted -just joking :-P-).

My cave is wood. Rock would be nice but I can't afford it.

Sorry, I read "latest" in the mathematical sense.

If it turns up, will post it.
