Your $SUBJECT does not directly seem to have any relevance to the content
of your email. If there is a specific security issue, then you would be
most helpful by at least mentioning it here, but even better would be
filing a bug on launchpad.

Enigmail appears to be synced from Debian, and presumably there was not a
2.0.10 version there when the automatic Debian sync stopped.

Additionally, enigmail is in universe, which means only
community-supported, including for security.

Finally, the upstream enigmail does not mention any security fixes in
2.0.10, which is present in EE:
