Thunderbird 1.5.0.14 (not yet released)

Accoding to the latest log of the weekly staff meeting, Mozilla concerns to release TB1.5.0.14.
I think TB1.5 came to its end of life in October.
Does anyone know whether TB1.5 is still supported or not officially?

Anyway, the news is hopeful because I know some users using TB1.5 yet.

Tip for Check and Send

I've asked about keywords for attachment checking of Check and Send: one of my extension for Thunderbird. The user can finally check a message as he want but the trouble is one in which many users may involve. So, I write about it.

You can set multiple keywords for word/attachment checking by using "|" except for when you use regular expression. The user inserted blanks before and after the "|". The extension does not ignore blanks in the keywords, so it does not work as he want.

See the following example. Assume that you set "file| attachment | attached" as keywords for attachment checking and you wrote a message including "Please see the attachment." without attatchment files. You may think the "attachment" in the keywords will match with the sentence but, indeed, it does not match since "." follows the "attachment" in the sentence, not a blank. You should remove blanks from key words like "file|attachment|attached" if you want to match the keyword with the sentence.

Check your keywords if you cannot check a message as you want.
