Subject: Thunderbird Won't Read Signature From a Pipe
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2005 00:20:08 -0500
Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0-3

If the .signature file is a FIFO (and driven by a program like Signify)
then Thunderbird will hang indefinitely when it tries to read a user's
signature.

Other programs ("cat", for example) do not have this problem.

Yes, I could reproduce this and it is known to upstream. I will try the patch 
available in the bug report and will try revive the upstream bug, so they know 
again.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks.  What will be the version-debian of the patched version so I can 
try it out?
