It could prove very useful!<br /><br /> I've been trying to port my first Firefox extension to Thunderbird and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't appear, even though its linked JS was executing! After about an hour and a half of Googling, this pointed me in the right direction, and I eventually found out that the IDs for (roughly) the same containers in different apps are different. I've yet to see the MDC page that explains that, though it may well exist.<br /><br />For the reference of others, Firefox's main toolbox (into which you place toolbars) is called "navigator-toolbox". In Thunderbird it's called "mail-toolbox". There's a description of how to use both here:<br /><br />http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2008/01/extension-developers-breaking-news/Greg J Preecehttp://www.txttools.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542840264156477606.post-52174762998793515622009-11-24T23:33:29.302-05:002009-11-24T23:33:29.302-05:00Thank sir!

I know you can open local files....so maybe once the attachment is downloaded do the processing by the plugin itself and not a local script and then you'll know when to open the reply window.Donald J Organ IVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412453157119493777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542840264156477606.post-28202001562711107132009-04-06T11:00:00.000-04:002009-04-06T11:00:00.000-04:00Thank you very much for this!I went to the same co...Thank you very much for this!<BR/>I went to the same conclusion as you:<BR/>- FF tutorial stuff is pretty big, but TB stuff = 0 (almost)<BR/>- I was looking for these specific functions too without finding them<BR/><BR/>Thanx again and keep this blog working with future good remarks or ideas as you doAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542840264156477606.post-86802787604319307572009-03-22T11:18:00.000-04:002009-03-22T11:18:00.000-04:00Thank you kindly for this summary.

I wonder if you could venture an opinion on how difficult it would be to save an attachment, process that attachment using a local script then suck up the text output of the script into an edit or reply window for further annotation by the TB user.Joseph Santhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07891562510531077044noreply@blogger.com
