Icedove 128 in testing repos
Hello,
For those who don't have fear in testing new builds and take the time to provide feedback please join the development list and help us test the next Icedove 128 release.

There is a typo on the command to add the testing gpg repo key, you can use instead
curl -s https://builds.trisquel.org/repos/signkey.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/builds-repo-key.gpg >/dev/null
Happy 2025!
Currently hosting an Icedove 128 party, no fear.
It first flashed the donate page from the Trisquel website, but I had no idea where that came from, since Icedove is offline by default. Other links get opened in the default browser instead. Until Icedove is instructed otherwise of course.
This flashcard also seems to be available offline: https://trisquel.info/en/legal#addons.
IIRC, starting on Thunderbird/Icedove 115 (maybe even earlier then that) by default every new install or major update, you get prompted with a window to encourage you to donate, since we replace a chunk of links then you'll get the Trisquel donation page instead.
I suppose the donation page purposely ignores the offline option, and only when actually offline would it give an error when trying to display the page, but since you just updated it or installed it, it's very likely you are not.
I would hope most users would not take that as a thread to their privacy, since the Trisquel website doesn't track you, and Icedove have telemetry disabled so you and only you know you visited the donation page, also it might remind form time to time to help with donations too, which in my book is a good thing I suppose.
Regards
I thought the address for the donation and legal disclaimer pages may have been redirected to some local file as long as Icedove is in offline mode. But this does not seem to be the case.
> you and only you know you visited the donation page
Now everybody knows, so I feel compelled to make a large donation - and to encourage everybody else to do the same.
