Hmmm, man thanks! But the claws-mail is exactly the same, but for the distribution number. On FC8 (installed), it is:
claws-mail-3.5.0-1.fc8
On FC9, the latest is:
claws-mail-3.5.0-1.fc9
Do I just use enablerepo=updates to be sure that F9 updates is being enabled. I was relying on the default, which seems to have worked previously.
