Checking inside of mailing lists (Check and Send 2.0.14)

Check and Send 2.0.14 is now available for download. It has a new option to expand mail lists for checking. It is enabled by default.

Check and Send 2.0.14

If the option is enabled, Check and Send adds contacts in mail lists to the recipients list and then check them. So, you can check all the addresses.

On the other hand, the old behavior can realize "white list" by a mail list because contacts in the list are excluded from the checking.

So, I keep the old one as an option. Please choose one suited for your cases.

New functionalities of Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.1.0

Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.1.0 is now available for download. This version adds new functionalities that Thunderbird 68 does not have.

Download v2.1.0

Customize Quick Filter Toolbar

Quick filter toolbar can be customized same as the message header toolbar. You can open the customize window by right-click menu on it.

The following is an example of icon only display. Of course, same as the message header toolbar, hiding some buttons, text only display, changing order and adding a spacer/separator are also available.
 
Please note the pin icon, separator after it and text field at the tail of the toolbar are not able to be customized.

Customize toolbar buttons individually

From v2.1.0, icon display can be set up for each toolbar buttons. The following is an example of individual configuration. Reply and Forward button are set as Icons beside text and others are icons only.


To do that, select "Individual" in the customize window. Then "Icon" and "Text" buttons appear beside the list. The Icon and Text buttons are toggle button. The states represent icon and text display.
 
And icons and text in the list also mean the states. Icon is not shown for text only button; text is surrounded by brackets for icon only button. For hidden button, both the Icon and Text buttons are OFF state.
 
To show a hidden button, change Icon or Text to ON state.



Rename toolbar buttons

The customize window has the "Rename" button. You can change button label as you like. The following example changes "Forward" button label to "Fwd".


When you click the Rename button, a form will pop up. Input new name of the selected one and then click OK to apply. If you input empty string, the original name will be back.

Smart Reply button has several child buttons inside. For such button, all labels are show by separated by commas as the following example. Please note if the number of labels you input differs from the original one, it will be ignored. So, please do not remove/add the commas. 
 
 
The input form sometimes has "Prevent this page from creating additional dialog" option. Please do not enable it. Otherwise the form will not appear in the session. If you wrongly check it, close the customize window and open it again. The form will be back.

The option aims to prevent system from browser crasher which open a form infinitely. No need to enable it for this add-on.


Customize Calendar Buttons

This feature is new in v2.1.0 Beta4.
 
Calendar, Tasks and Today buttons can be hidden. "Customize Calendar Buttons" menu is added to the context menu of the mail toolbar. When you click the menu, a popup window will appear. There are following three check boxes in the window:
  • Calendar Button
  • Tasks Button
  • Today Pane Button
Uncheck items you want hide.
 
  • Hide Calendar and Tasks buttons


 

  •  Hide Today pane button


Star and Print Buttons

This feature is new in v2.1.0 Beta5.
 
Star and Print buttons are added to the message header toolbar. Please note the buttons are hidden by default.



Note

  • Structure of preferences data is changed. When you update v2.0.x to v2.1.0, it will be converted automatically. But when you downgrade, backward conversion will not be performed. So, if you downgrade to v2.0.x, open customize window and click the Reset button. It clears v2.1.0 preferences data and it is recreated for v2.0.x on startup of Thunderbird.
  • If it messes up a toolbar by a bug or something, click Reset button in the customize window. If the Reset does not work remove the add-on and re-install it.

Reproduce removed header buttons in Thunderbird 78 (Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6)

Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6 is available for download.

This release includes a few new functionalities.

I think all the lost things in Thunderbird 78, regarding the header view toolbar, are reproduced by this update. If you have any improvements, please let me know.


Conversation, Tag and Forward As buttons

These header view buttons are removed from Thunderbird 78. I reproduce them by Message Header Toolbar Customize 2.0.6. The buttons work the same as they do in Thunderbird 68. The example is "Icon beside text" mode. Of course, the buttons can be shown with "Icon only" mode when you choose it.


After you install v2.0.6, these buttons are added automatically but they are hidden by default. Please open customize window and configure buttons you want to use as shown. You can move them where you want to place, too.


Note:
  • The "Forward" button is shown as "Forward As" in the list above in order to distinguish between original "Forward" button and new one. On the other hand, the text in the toolbar is "Forward" for both.
  • Conversation button is always hidden in the message window (open with new window), regardless the configuration. This is because the window cannot open conversation by a tab. This behavior is the same as Thunderbird 68; you can put the button to the toolbar but never shown.


Select multiple items in the list

There is one more improvement. You can select multiple items in the list of customize window by Ctrl+left-click/Shift+left-click. You can move them at once. You also can toggle hidden state for them. 

For example, if you want to show the newly added three buttons, select them as follows and click show button.



Other things

  • When you opened customize window for message window, the "Show:" list was initialized by messenger(main) window's configuration. Now it is fixed.
  • Buttons of customize window are disabled when they do not work for a context. For example, when you select top item of the list, Up button will be disabled.
