The last time I touched SUSE was when it first came out on the market.
I was just going on what I heard on the Philadelphia Linux User's Group
(PLUG) list that rpm based distributions currently have a version of apt
for their distributions.

What I was attempting to get across was that Linux distributions do not
and cannot use M$ Windows .exe files.  For a new Linux user it is
easiest for them to use the package management system. Today there are
so many distributions whereas when I first started using Linux there was
only RedHat and Slackware.  Both of them would fit on a single CD.

The new Linux user should use their package management system and
install the version of enigmail that is provided by the distribution.
Usually the enigmail package will install everything where it belongs
and thunderbird or seamonkey will properly.  Most distributions will
verify and install the correct version that matches your system.
