With the <a
href="http://blog.mozilla.org/standard8/2012/05/23/thunderbird-13-second-and-third-beta-releases-via-new-automation/">switch
to the Firefox automation</a> now complete, we're also picking up
<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730328">automated
signing of builds</a>, this should start on nightly builds either
from today, or Monday.<br>
<br>
The side effect of this is that we can now move forward with the <a
href="http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-mozilla-maintenance-service#os=win&browser=fx13">maintenance
service</a> on Windows that removes the need for the UAC dialog.
This would be a good win for our Windows users.<br>
<br>
I'm looking to get this done before the 4th June - so that it is in
time for Thunderbird 15.<br>
<br>
I've put details in the bug, most of this work should generally be
porting the relevant code from mozilla/browser/ to mail/ - there
shouldn't be any significant redeveloping, here's the bug:<br>

<br>
I'm willing to help out with questions, testing etc.<br>
<br>
Any takers?<br>
<br>
I'm envisioning that we'll pick up the silent updates for TB 16,
unless someone has time to pick it up before the merge and we're
confident that there appears to no significant issues in the Firefox
version that has just re-landed.<br>
