O.K., errands finished, the rebuilt rpm installed using yum --nogpgcheck localupdate /path/to/rpm with no problems, no dependencies. Mail, preferences, plugins and helpers work as far as I've tested. And email address hinting is fixed! Many thanks..
you're welcome, glad it helped!
I am glad to hear this, but it really would have been a whole lot simpler just to install the official release tarball....
rpmbuild --rebuild isn't so complicated, and I find having almost everything in rpms is comfortable. Also, once the rpm is built on one system you can install it everywhere. That can be very convenient, depending on how many desktops/laptops you have.
