I'm stuck with claws-mail, and I reallly don't like it. icedove-uxp would be a good addition. - icedove-uxp and iceweasel-uxp are likely to have similar dependencies given they are a part of the hyperbola project. It will probably be simple to write a package for iceweasel-uxp and iceape-uxp after icedove-uxp is written. I think I can port icedove-uxp, and guixuser can use my code as a template for iceweasel. It will help guixuser get comfortable with porting and fixing packages, which would be important if guixuser is to remain a guix user. Guixuser, would you mind if I CC you when I submit the patch? -Jesse
