Versione 4.8.1 1.1 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 131.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Maintenance version 4.8.1
  • New settings page: Fixed search highlighting and scrolling in variables tab. This also fixes weird scrollbar issues when expanding chapters. [issue 319]
  • Variables page now supports dark mode.
  • Improved headline for Examples tab and added jump to support side.
  • Thunderbird 128.2 fixed the verification of SmartTemplates licenses bound to
    an exchange account when it is accessed using Owl - due to a bug in their accounts API.
    See also [issue #303] and bug 1909005


Enhancements
  • Improved icon designs for dark themes and clearer texts independent of installed fonts for icons with text. [issue 310]
  • Added function to collapse all chapters in Variables page. This is made visible after clicking on "expand all".[issue 314]
  • Implemented the command "configure menu items…" so that it opens the correct page in the new Settings dialog.
  • Implemented display settings for statusbar icon in new settings tab [issue 313]
  • Implemented search in Variables page on new settings page. Repeat search now with F4 and Shift+F4 [issue 315]
  • Completed Greek translations (provided by chat GPT)


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: Template functions don't work when writing a new message in a newsgroup account [issue 311]
  • Fixed: "expand all" inside new settings variables page didn't work. [issue 312]

Miscellaneous
  • Use keydown instead of deprecated keypress events.

Known Issues
  • Currently the verification of SmartTemplates licenses fails when the license is bound to an
    exchange account when it is accessed using Owl. This is due to a bug in
    the extensions.accounts Webextensions API - which doesn't include them when using <tt>accounts.list()</tt> -
    which the Thunderbird team is working on and is planned to land in one of the next
    versions of ESR128. [issue 303]

Versione 4.7 1.1 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 129.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here


Enhancements
  • Account Templates - new Identities could not be added in the new version of the settings dialog.

    The API used to write legacy settings to the global configuration database
    wasn't able to create any entries without default, which affects any Identities
    created by the user, including the default identity of a new mail account.

    This means such settings (template and quotes) could not be modified and saved unless the identity existed before the conversion of SmartTemplates settings to
    be web extension compatible. [issue 300]

    This problem is now patched and back to work as expected.
  • Improved chinese translations for term "account" - thanks to Y.D.X. [issue 302]
  • Added Refresh button for accounts dropdown. [issue 307]


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: Clicking on Hide Button Label in header menu doesn't work as expected. [issue 304]
  • in Tb128 - popup for restricted features: notification leads to exception + icon not displayed. [issue 308]

Miscellaneous
  • Removed vendor prefix from -moz-appearance
  • Reply with template from tab displays "cmd_reply not available in this context". [issue 309]

Known issues
  • Exchange accounts that use Owl protocol can currently not be license validated in Tb128. We are currently await a fix by Thunderbird core. [issue 303]

Versione 4.6.1 1.1 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 128.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here


Enhancements
  • SmartTemplates is now compatible with Thunderbird 128.
  • The settings screen was converted to HTML which is now displayed in its own Thunderbird tab. [issue 295]

  • The variables %header.delete()% and %header.deleteFromSubject()% now support multiple parameters [issue 293].

    For example:

    %header.delete(subject,"Fwd: ","Order: QUI[0-9\-]* -")%
    %header.deleteFromSubject("re:","AW:","fwd")%


  • The license module now performs faster (using the API function to iterate the mail accounts, all folders are no longer processed).


Bug Fixes
  • Fixed file open dialog which was broken in Thunderbird 125.

Maintenance Version 4.6.1
  • Snippets - Configure menu items - should open "template files" page in settings (new settings dialog)[issue 297]

Versione 4.5 1.1 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 126.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here


Enhancements
  • You can now use percent "%" sign within a text parameter, e.g. %header.set(subject,"save 25%")% [issue 287]
  • Added a button for editing external templates. You can set up any external editor,
    preferrably it would be a HTML editor with Syntax highlighting. [issue 282]
  • Added text transformation parameters for search functions: Use the parameters capitalize / uppercase / lowercase / camelcase after the
    group parameter. This can also be compared with the toclipboard parameter. [issue 288]

    Examples:

    %matchTextFromSubject("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,uppercase)%
    %matchTextFromBody("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,lowercase)%
    %header.prefix.matchFromBody(subject,"Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,capitalize)%
    %matchTextFromBody("Customer.*\n\-+\n(.*)\n",1,capitalize,toclipboard)%
    • capitalize = Capitalizes the first letter of each word. Useful for Names.
    • camelcase = Converts the first character of the entire string lowercase.
    • lowercase = Transforms the entire match to lower case.
    • uppercase = Transforms the entire match to upper case.
  • Support "selection" as parameter for replaceText - so we can transform selected (formatted) text from smart fragments.[issue 289]

    Syntax: %replaceText("find","replace",selection)%

    For example, the following can be used as a smart fragment script to generate a nicer breadcrumb trail from a string like "Menu >> submenu >> command" into "Menu » submenu » command". Note that we can use HTML markup, like in any smart fragment.

    <i>%replaceText(">>","»",selection)%</i></pre>



Bug Fixes
  • The settings dialog was missing important toolbar buttons (beside account selector) when opened from Add-ons manager. [issue 291]
  • All spaces after/before text in %header.set(subject," text ")% were removed. From now on, preserve all spaces in any text argument. [issue 292]
  • Fixed: Opening SmartTemplates settings in "Common" can show a disabled / missing UI underneath. Only after selecting another entry from accounts the templates area became visible. [issue 290]

  • Improvement: MRU menu items will update with changed titles from template setup (if the file is found in the template menu configuration)
  • Improvement:
    When sending email with unresolved from / recipient / to variables, these are now replaced automatically in a reliable fashion. (Previously there was
    a chance of them being sent unchanged.) [issue 284]
  • Fixed opening the full version history tab from [What's New] which was broken in 4.0.

  • Removed license notification alert when saving / loading templates.

Maintenance Fixes 4.4.1


Enhancements

    %deleteText()%
    %replaceText()%
    %matchTextFromBody()%
    %matchTextFromSubject()%
    %deleteQuotedText()%
    %replaceQuotedText()%
    %file()% %toclipboard()%
    %conditionalText()%
    %header.set()%
    %header.prefix()%
    %header.append()%
    %header.delete()%

    All commas need to be escaped with a preceding backslash, for example:
    %toclipboard("All your needs\, fulfilled.")%
    [issue 280]

  • The address data for %to%, %recipient% and %from% will now automatically be inserted when writing a new email via the context menu 'Compose Message To'. [issue 275]
  • Force lowercase emails when looking up Cardbook contacts. Before, the lookup of contacts could fail when replying to an email with mixed case address, such as [email protected]. [issue 278]
  • Support for extracting prefix and suffix from address book fields. [issue 267]
  • Support for other.custom1, other.custom2 etc. from address book fields. [issue 246]
  • Removed duplicate tooltip on active SmartTemplate fields.
  • Rewrote message action menus using extension APIs [issue 253]


Bug Fixes
  • Using %recipient% also works as expected when replying to own emails in a conversation and Thunderbird automatically changes the recipients. [issue 239]


    • Miscellaneous
  • Removed duplicate tooltip on active SmartTemplate fields.
  • Removed FileUtils.getFile for future compatibility (122 beta)
  • Added documentation for %dateformat(fstring,toclipboard)% to the variables page in settings.

Versione 4.3.3 1.0 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 120.*

Maintenance fix 4.3.3
  • Fixed loading account settings from settings window. [issue 273]
  • Fixed: SmartTemplates ignored when creating an email from the Thunderbird taskbar context menu or when clicking a mailto link on a website. This now loads the template of the default identity as expected. [issue 272]
  • Added support for 120.* beta versions

Work in Progress

  • Sometimes the header menu is empty (missing the reply / forward submenus) To alleviate the problem for now, I increased the delay for patching message an also keeping a reference to local WindowListener in message window. There will be a complete fix forthcoming very soon. See [issue 271]

Versione 4.3.2 1.0 MiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 119.*

Enhancements / Changes
  • Added accelerator keys for template menus (Write, Forward, Reply, Reply All and Reply to List) [issue 262]
  • List most recently used [MRU] external template actions on top level of SmartTemplates menus. These will show for reply and forward on top level the SmartTemplates header menu and for write actions on the main toolbar menu. It will prevent a lot of additional menu selection when creating a larger number of templates during a mail campaign. [issue 263]


    The main button lists the most recent templates used to write new emails. The button over the email preview displays the templates used to reply and forward mails.

    The number of items for each of these menus depends on the license level.
    SmartTemplates "Free" displays the last 3 items used.
    SmartTemplates Standard displayes the last 5 items used, and remembers these on restart of Thunderbird.
    SmartTemplates Pro displays the last 10 items, but the maximum amount can be configured in the configuration setting <tt>extensions.smartTemplate4.fileTemplates.mru.max</tt>. I will provide a user interface for adjusting the maximum number in a future version.
  • Support reading `%clipboard%` with "text/plain" content [issue 264]
  • Support `<div type='cite'>` for raising quote level in commands that have quote level parameters. [issue 265]
  • Made registration screen less tall, to support smaller screens / display scaling. [issue 268]

Bugs Fixed
  • Fixed `%messageRaw()%` function.
  • [For Geeks only!]

    Fixed template scripting (JavaScript) - thanks to Benito van Zander for providing the patch code. All replacement functions (variables used in scripts) are now asynchronous, so if you are using script in a template, variables such as "subject" will return a promise and need to be converted to content using "await". [issue 266]

Maintenance fix 4.3.2
  • Regression: Insert Snippet and Change template buttons were missing the menu item "Open template file..."

Versione 4.2.1 1018.3 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 115.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements / Changes
  • The button in the email header bar is now shorter not containing the untranslated phrase 'Follow up with SmartTemplates' anymore - you can even completely hide the SmartTemplates label so that only the icon remains visible while in icon+text mode. [issue 254]

  • Added "settings" item to bottom of SmartTemplates thread tools menu

Bugs Fixed
  • A problem was fixed that prevented other account templates loading when you change the 'From' address in the email editor window. [issue 256]

    However there will be a prompt now, as Thunderbird currently incorrectly reports a New Email as "changed" when the event happens. We're hoping that this problem may be addressed in a future version.

Versione 3.18 976.8 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 91.0 - 110.0

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

SmartTemplates is now compatible with the latest version of Thunderbird (115.2.3). This required numerous substantial changes, and rewriting of many functions. This version 3.17.1 backports some of the changes to Thunderbird 102 and earliser.

Enhancements
  • New option to inject contents of <head> tags into the Thunderbird composers' head section. Merge attributes of template <body> into the body tag of the Email. [issue 79]

    Thunderbird used to discard any body tags that were injected into composer. With this new feature we can influence the look and feel of the page better (including background color and images). Moving style sections into the head of the email can also make the layout translate better in various email environments. Some webmail sites discard styles that are not located within the head section.

    This behavior can be toggled on the advanced settings page.

Bugfixes
  • Avoid error in log when smartTemplates.json file (list of external templates) does not exist [issue 227]
  • Fixed a problem with cardbook when no match round and fallback to standard AB is not defined

Versione 4.1 1012.7 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 115.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements / Changes
  • Any code within a <head> tag will from now be moved into the main <head> section of the document. Also <body> attributes are now transferred to the main <body>. This should make CSS styles more visible in other mail clients. [issue 79]

Bugs Fixed
  • In the previous version, the license website did not open when clicking on any buttons in the License dialog. This was fixed and also opening the support site in the standard browser.
  • Fixed miscellaneous layout issues in settings screen.


Known issues / Plans
  • There may still be some stability issues with displaying / updating the template menus.
  • Future versions will hide irrelevant menus (reply list, reply all) based on current context.

Versione 4.0.2 1009.6 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 111.0 - 115.*

Enhancements / Changes
  • The menu item for last used template is now updated as expected. This means also when you load a template directly from disk this will afterwards show up in the appropriate menu (Reply, Write or Forward) as "Last template" for easier reuse.

Bugs Fixed
  • Fixed a problem with the Add-on CardBook. If Cardbook support was enabled in SmartTemplates, without the Add-on being active / installed, then falling back to searching the standard address book would also fail.
  • Fixed an issue with opening templates or snippets directly from file - these functions did not insert any data. [issue 249]
  • Fixed missing write / reply / forward tabs in Common settings if no account was selected (e.g. when opening the settings from Local Folders)

  • Supports {{%replaceText%}} and {{%deleteText%}} to modify html that was imported using {{%file()%}}. This way you can use placeholder variables and replace them from the containing template.[issue 244]

Versione 3.17.1 971.7 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 91.0 - 110.0

SmartTemplates is now compatible with the latest version of Thunderbird (115.0). This required numerous substantial changes, and rewriting of many functions. This version 3.17.1 backports some of the changes to Thunderbird 102 and earliser.

Enhancements
  • Allow %replaceText()% and %deleteText()% to affect content that was imported using %file()%
    issue 244

    We frequently need to import text fragments ("building blocks") that have a generic message but need to include some specific keywords, such as a product name or URL. Previously the following pattern did not work within the text that is imported:

    <pre>%file("snippets/why-renew.html")%
    %replaceText("{addonName}","quickFilters")%
    %replaceText("{github}","https://github.com/RealRaven2000/quickFilters")%</pre>

    Contained file (why-renew.html)

    <pre><p>
    All changes of the Add-on {addonName} can be seen as they are
    created and tracked <a href="{github}/issues">on Github</a>;
    </p></pre>

    Previously, SmartTemplates did the replacements before the contents of the file were inserted into the template text.
    New behavior: First load the file and replace its contents into the template, then do the text replacements afterwards. As demonstrated in the example above, it can also be used to modify HTML markup and affect things like HTML attributes such as the URL of a web link.

  • Fixed problem where an invalid HTML signature path could lead to problems in the template.
  • Update Number of days left in license at midnight

Maintenance Version 3.12.2
  • [issue 197] - Expand / collapse / help buttons are now also visible when opening settings from Add-ons Manager
  • [issue 198] - Renew license button on left bottom of settings dialog now works as expected

Enhancements
  • [issue 183] SmartTemplates now supports using "clipboard" as argument for text and header manipulation functionsheader manipulation - examples
    • %header.set(to,clipboard)% - set the final recipient from the clipboard
    • %header.append(to,clipboard)% - add a recipient from clipboard
    • %header.prefix(subject,clipboard)% - add some subject prefix from clipboard
    Template text and Quote replacements
    • %replaceText(regularExpression,clipboard)% - overwrite placeholder text in template from clipboard
    • %replaceQuotedText(regularExpression,clipboard)% - replace text in the quoted part with clipboard contents
  • [issue 187] Support transferring headers / variable results to clipboard

    Use the parameter <tt>toclipboard</tt> to transfer header contents such as email addresses to the clipboard: %from(mail,toclipboard)%

    Use it when replying or forwarding messages to extract text from the original message body or subject to the clipboard, for example:

    %matchTextFromBody("Please reply until (.*)",1,toclipboard)%
    %matchTextFromSubject("\[Support\] (.*)",1,toclipboard)%

    You can use it for copying the date with dateformat as well:

    Wrap the format strings in double quotes, and add the parameter <tt>toclipboard</tt> to force copying the date to clipboard instead of inserting it into the email. Use the additional parameter <tt>current</tt> to always enforce current time (without that, it will interpret it as the timestamp of the replied to / forwarded original mail)

    Examples:
    <pre class="code">
    %dateformat("A, e/n/Y H:M",toclipboard)%
    %dateformat("A, e/n/Y H:M",current,toclipboard)%</pre>
  • [issue 189] Support multiple spellcheck languages with %spellcheck()% command - for example:
    use %spellcheck(en,de)% to enable combined English / German dictionary checking.
  • [issue 182] Improved *selection* placeholder in Snippets to better support processing html elements.
    For example, you can now wrap an image with some HTML to add a shadow. Just click on the image and then load the following Smart Template:

    <pre>
    <div style="border: 1px solid rgba(80, 80, 80, 0.3);
    box-shadow: rgba(80, 80, 80, 0.3) 5px 5px 5px;
    width:max-content;">*selection*</div>
    </pre>

    This will add a nice outlines and drop shadow. There are many more creative way to add functionality to the Thunderbird Composer using the SmartTemplates Snippets button, by using HTML and style rules.
  • [issue 185] Simplified and modernized SmartTemplates Settings - Accounts dropdown and toolbar buttons.

    The accounts dropdown often showed squashed buttons at the top right due to long labels, also the icons
    were confusing - I have decided to streamline this by taking the following steps:
    • removed the "Advanced" label and using the widely used [...] icon to expand dialog to advanced settings
    • used monochrome scalable svg icons for most of the toolbarbutton
    • removed the account name from the account label - the identity name should be enough.
      If you need to add it back (or additional info such as the account id)
      you can right-click the "Account:" label
    • reduced space between buttons to save even more space
  • Compatibility changes for Thunderbird ESR 102:<br>
    Increased minimum version number<br>
    Fixed notifications<br>
    Fixed setting focus in composer<br>
    Stabilized code when reading external signatures or including external files<br>
    Fixed menu spacings for Templates in reply / write / forward / Snippets buttons.<br>
    • Bug Fixes / Maintenance
  • [issue 186] Fixed various issues in bracketMail parameter in %to% / %from% etc:

    • You can now use bracketMail without the parentheses: %to(name,bracketMail)% this will default to wrapping the email in the standard of angled brackets: <[email protected]>
    • Fixed: Explict delimiters given as bracket parameters should not repeat on all following fields. <br> For example, %to(bracketName({;}),mail)% will generate "{Fred} [email protected]" and not the faulty "{Fred} {[email protected]}"
    • When using deferred fields (e.g. when using %to(bracketMail)% within a write template), angle brackets used to be encoded twice leading to an output of "&l;;[email protected]&g;;" instead of the expected "<[email protected]>" when the user clicks to update the field.
    • Using multiple bracketMail functions could lead to only the last [[ optional section ]] to be removed as expected. See related [issue 192]
  • Ongoing work: [issue 184]
    Move template processing into background script

    In order to use ComposeScripts and allow integration of SmartTemplates with other mail extensions (not just legacy) all template / string processing and the insertion into Composer need to be moved into the background script. The new code will be implemented on the current ESR branch (currently 91, soon to be 102) but not activated until it is ready.

    Once the main parser runs within background we are an essential step closer to conversion to a native API mail extension [mx] without legacy code and without requiring full permissions to the user's PC. However it is likely that things like UI integration (3 buttons in composer toolbar), full access to external files, access to certain MIME headers etc. might then still not possible with non-experimental Add-ons.

Enhancements 3.11
  • [issue 173] Auto-Forward / Auto-Reply with template - implement triggering template from filter (using FiltaQuilla). This requires the Add-on FiltaQuilla version 3.4 or later.

    In order to use this feature, open Filtaquilla settings and enable the "forward with SmartTemplates" option on the actions page. One can then add the new action on any message filter.
    For detailed documentation refer to the article on the quickFilters premium features page.
  • [issue 172] Modifiy text in body of forwarded mail [inline]. This now works in the functions: %deleteQuotedText()%, %replaceQuotedText()%, %deleteQuotedTags()%, %replaceQuotedTags()%. Read the full documentation here.

    These have to be called with a quote level parameter of "0" from the template and then they can be used to delete or replace text or HTML parts from the original mail.

    Limitation: the string parameters cannot contain double quotes ", the percent sign % or parentheses ( ) .
  • [issue 174] %suppressQuoteHeaders% command to suppress all quote headers - the ones inserted by Thunderbird automatically (usally along the lines of "on 12/03/2020 John Doe wrote:") and also any of the replacement ones configured in SmartTemplates account settings.
