Version 3.1

FiltaQuilla is now compatible with Thunderbird 78. Again, FiltaQuilla had to be largely rewritten for Thunderbird 78, because support for some key technologies was deprecated by Mozilla (bindings was central to making the filter editor work, so there were numerous days of work and guessing necessary to get it back on track. Many thanks to John Bieling from Thunderbird for helping especially with the very problematic Filter Editor.

Going forward most bugfixes / new features will be exclusively available for Thunderbird 78 - but there may be some minor backports for Thunderbird 68. The reason for this is that through architectural changes on the Mozilla code platform the code for Thunderbird 68 and earlier is substantially different.

Going forward most bugfixes / new features will be exclusively available for Thunderbird 78 - some changes may be backported to Thunderbird 68. The reason for this is that through architectural changes on the Mozilla code platform the code for Thunderbird 60 and earlier is substantially different.

This version fixes broken filter actions MoveLater and CopyAsSend caused by changes in recent versions of Thunderbird

Version 1.3.1 fixes an error that prevented filter actions that train the junk filter.

Bug fixes.

1. Fixes issues in printing
2. Adds optional file type when saving message

Provides compatibility with Thunderbird 5.0

Fixes:

bug 313 Non-ascii characters don’t work in subjectRegEx

bug 843 Remove lower case from headerRegEx (which prevented certain headers from being properly processed)

New Features:

Search term: Folder Name

Custom action: Save Message to Folder

Custom Action: Move Later

Fixes:

A core bug that prevented custom searches from working in non-filter contexts was fixed in Thunderbird 3.0.5/3.1 beta 2.

A core feature was added, beginning with Thunderbird 3.1 beta 2, that allows IMAP filter actions that need the message body to work. This FiltaQuilla version adds support for that term.

Enabling of filter actions and search terms was divided into separate pages to prevent issues with view overflow.

New features:

Custom action: javascript and javascript (needs body)

Custom action: detach attachments from message (requires Thunderbird 3.1 beta 2 or later)

Custom action: Suffix to subject. Previous action "append to subject", which was misnamed, was renamed to "prepend to subject" though existing defined actions will still work.

This revision fixes three bugs:

Fixed: M164 Filter action “Run” fails with second after-the-fact action

Fixed: M165 RegEx search term has no method to add flags like case insensitive

Fixed: M166 Custom search term values are not appearing in customize view
