Hi Dave,

prefs.js / user.js, but that doesn't seem to be the problem:

> I upgraded openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3 preserving my home directory, but

Thunderbird Extensions are installed into user directories, in your case
~./thunderbird/.../extensions/{Enigmail-ID}/... and the error you encounter
results from Enigmail being compiled using a different compiler than the
Thunderbird SuSE 10.3 comes with.

Te easiest solution is to uninstall Enigmail using TBs mechanism and to
install using YaST (assuming you are currently using SuSE's thunderbird).

In case you downloaded and installed Thunderbird from mozilla.org manually
you need to install Enigmail from enigmail.mozdev.org.

Either way, they must match: SuSE+SuSE or mozilla.org+enigmail.mozdev.org.

HTH,
Olav
