In the previous version of TB, when doing a drag and drop of a message into the folder, the mouse pointer would be just an "document" icon. In the 60 version, it is now dragging the whole subject line, which makes it very very difficult to see what folder I'm trying to drop it into. The icon version was much easier to see.

Is there a way to control (revert) this behavior, even if it is editing a .js file?

Linux, fedora 19 (yes that's old, I'm working on building a new box, but I doubt this will impact the behavior.)

Thanks!

When I don't finish an email right away, I get a copy in the Draft folder. After completing the email, I expect the draft do disappear. It does not. It stays out there forever.

I am trying to permanently add the Size column to the search messages pop-up window when I try to search my emails.

In older Thunderbird versions, you had the capability to add the 'Size' column to the 'Search Messages' window when search emails. That is proving difficult to do in v52.7.

I am having a long email exchange with someone at the moment and today they asked if I could stop indenting the previous emails with chevrons everytime I reply, because after a few exchanges, it destroys the legibility of the emails.

Can I turn off indents and chevrons and just have the prior email text appear below the To:, From:, CC:, Subject: list?

I'm happy to hack some config files. I didn't see a menu option.

Thanks Adam

I am trying to exclude quickly from my view selected tagged emails. The only way I found is that I have to select all other tags and choose "All of". I wish I could just choose the tag(s) I don't want to see with having a "None of" option in the drop down list. Currently using Thunderbird on OS X V52.1.0 Thanks.

I cannot find a latest Add-On to install with Mozilla Thunderbird to set up the auto-print feature. I have read loads of old instructions and questions but they no longer exist.

Which is the best add on for this?

Many Thanks

Mike

Is there a community forum for Add-ons? I don't see a link anywhere. It would be useful for exchanging tips & questions + suggestions for new ideas. I don't want to keep bugging the add-on developer with all my queries (they could check out the forum too).

How can a change the order of email accounts in my left pane? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/addon/manually-sort-folders/ only works through 57.0. I am running 60.0b1

Using TB 60.3.1 32 bit Windows 10

After this update, I have to allow remote content - even if I allowed it from the sender in the past, and even if the sender is already in my address book.

Did installing this update essentially delete all my previous "allow" selections? Is there a way to allow remote content if the sender is already in my address book?

Thank you -

Is there any way to copy/paste attachments from an email.....this is easily accomplished in Outlook, but I sure hate to go back there. Right mouse button does not provide a copy option.

I can only find very old threads and no solutions to this question. I want to add more than 2 email addresses for some contacts. I don't want to create extra card(s) for the same contact since I sync my contacts across other platforms (ie phone) and it gets messy. My phone can, of course, happily accept any number of email addresses for a single contact. Thanks

For instance the following link provided a method that used to change the position of the address books but does not seem to have that function any longer.

Can you advise me how to manipulate the positions. If this is not possible can you tell me how to request that this be added as a feature. This is strictly a time saving feature request as it would allow me to not have to repeatedly day after day and lots of times many times a day change from the PAB to my preferred Address Book. Thank you.

I have to keep hard copies of e mails. The problem is that as a trhead gets added to it means the print outs get longer and longer and are of course repatative Is there a setting that allows me to only print the most recent mail in a thread?

I have a Linux Mint operating system, I use both Firefox (52.9.0 ESR, 64bit) and Thunderbird (52.9.1, 64bit). When I open an email link, Firefox opens, but will only display the homepage, not the link. I have to cut and paste the link into Firefox to see it.

If I already have Firefox open, clicking on the email link will open a new window of Firefox, but only access the homepage.

I could find no remedy online for this problem.

I'm trying to create a signature text with a paragraph break.

The instructions and samples I find all show text where just hitting return apparently does the trick, e.g.:

"Thanks,

Bill Watson

Culver City"

When I space down (hit return) for a new line, it looks fine in the Tools/Accounts blank that I'm filling in. But when I open a fresh email to start writing, all the lines are smushed into one paragraph.

I've tried hitting return twice - no luck.

Am I running into some kind of character limit? My sig text is in essence a tiny FAQ about our company, with information every new contact will ask of us. Certainly not enough for a template; it's about five sentences. I'm trying to space down (paragraph break) before the last sentence - example:

"Our company deals in widget, thingies, and stuff. We have affiliates nationwide, with distribution centers in Hoboken, Newcastle, and French Lick. New affiliates are welcome. Best times to call us are midnight, midnight, and midnight, Sunday through Monday.

Our website doesn't work but our heart is in the right place."

It looks just like that when I'm creating it. On a new email, it looks like this:

"Our company deals in widget, thingies, and stuff. We have affiliates nationwide, with distribution centers in Hoboken, Newcastle, and French Lick. New affiliates are welcome. Best times to call us are midnight, midnight, and midnight, Sunday through Monday. Our website doesn't work but our heart is in the right place."

No return; no new para.

I'd create a v-card but I don't like sending introductory emails with an attachment. Besides, I'm curious why this isn't working!

Thanks!

I find it increasingly important to be able to see a sender's actual email address rather than just display name, as they usually don't show a company name - which a domain always would. Is there a way to customise settings/write a script/tweak files to add raw email & domain name columns? When dealing with a number of people at the same company it is hard to order or glance through a list of emails to find them. I also know 2 people with the same name at different companies and it is impossible to distinguish!

Secondly, as a related column addition, since a number of email aliases reach me it would be useful to have a column to show the "Received..for" part of the message source which reveals the actual email used in the To/CC/BCC which led to me. Again can this be tweaked or scripted?

I have programming experience but have not made add-ons and would be open to a suggestion which involves creating a custom add-on if adding columns with custom values is possible that way.

Best Regards,

Drew
