MinimizeToTray Reanimated

Puntuado con 5 de 5 estrellas

Thank you to the authors for the many years of producing a very useful addon.

As of Thunderbird version 78.0 there is a new option/preference to use minimise to tray. So, if users want to update, they can now switch this on without the need for an addon.

In version 91.* - 'Tools/Menu app icon' >' Preferences' (older version eg: 78* may use 'Options') > 'General'
under 'System Integration'
select checkbox 'When thunderbird is minimised, move it to the tray'
Then restart Thunderbird.

Signature Switch

Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas

Using Thunderbird 78.3.2. This update to version 2.0.0 did derailed me to begin with and needs a bit of tweeking. Previous versions were so easy to understand.
The 'Signature Switch' button on toolbar was added to far right of toolbar after the 'Attach' so it was easy to not see and had to be moved to a more suitable location on toolbar.
'Switch on' green button does nothing.
In Options:
'Add new Signature' had me completely baffled. No idea what all the icons mean. Icons are useless without Text. Please include Text with icons.
The 'arrow' buttons do nothing and do not allow me to import or upload. No idea what they are for anyway.
No idea how to connect to html files already created using Thunderbird 'Write' window as no functionality provided to import a file. Must be a reason.
The Import button is greyed out. So I presume you have create signatures then export in order to import. Useful if you need to copy between computers or create a backup, but obviously no use for importing html files.

Update: this new addon has been completely rewritten. Now the addon is a pure MailExtension; meaning it has limited access to resources from the outside. So...no you cannot get it to 'import' anything you have previous created within Thunderbird Write window and saved as HTML file. BUT you can copy and paste the content of previous created html files.

Click on 'Add new signature'
Click on 'pencil' icon
You can open your previously created html files with Notepad, copy all the content and then paste it into the 'HTML' section
Give same name as previous, so you don't get confused and click on Save'

You should see those options in the drop down list, just like previous version making it easy to select.

I offer help on Support forum, so usually try to get to grips with addons with the intent of advising on Support Forum if user has an issue or just wants to know how to get the addon to work. Please support the author with donations so continued support can be maintained.

Show Address Only

Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas

Version 52.7.0 Works perfectly in folder view, so is also ok when using Quick Filter Bar. In Global Search 'open email as list', you can enable the 'Sender[@]' column header but it is blank. Find > Search Messages, does not even offer 'Sender[@]' as a column header.
If you perform a search and create a 'saved Search' folder, then whilst column header is available it will fail to populate.
Result generally good but not if searching .

Thunderbird Conversations

Puntuado con 4 de 5 estrellas

In addition to remote images bug as reported by Jorg K....
Enabled Converstions.
Select email with pdf attachment so it is viewed in Message Pane.
click on 'preview'
a new tab opens and you see 'Loading' with a spinning wheel icon.
This does not ever actually load. It is stuck on 'Loading'.
Another person on support forum had this issue, so I tested it and got the same result.
I'm using the correct version of Conversations 2.11.3

Signature Switch

Puntuado con 3 de 5 estrellas

re :Email signature MUST go at the end of the message, they cannot and they SHOULD NOT be positioned freely wherever one chooses.
Before complaining about a missing feature, one should do his/her homework!

All signatures should go after that persons comment, otherwise a separate list of signatures is created at the bottom of every reply email which would get longer as the thread developes. Therefore all signatures would not relate to any comment except the first. This is the current situation.

As for 'doing homework'....
Once upon a time, people added their comment and it was auto added below the first comment and so the signature would always be in the correct position at the bottom. In these situations this addon works perfectly as intended.
But, this was realised by many users to be rather ridiculous and a time wasting exercise as it meant that everyone had to scroll to read the added comment. As people became enlightened that scrolling to read latest comments was an inefficient work practise, email clients developed including Thunderbird and now for several years has allowed adding and display latest comments on the top, so the outdated method of adding signatures to the bottom has become a problem because it creates a list of unattached signatures that cannot be related to any specific comment and this is the problem.

This is a very good and useful addon, but it has one flaw in that it does not associate a signature with a comment when using a Reply, it adds the signature after all comments which implies I made and agree to all the comments, which is obviously incorrect.
So that for every reply email, it is absolutely necessary to apply the signature and then cut paste the signature into the correct position. Otherwise the addon works very well and is much appreciated.
