Way to customize <head> section of outbound email?
is there a way to include or insert custom code into the head section of outbound Thunderbird emails?
Note that I am not talking about custom email headers, but custom html into the <head> section of outbound HTML emails.
Thanks!

I don't know if either fits your need, but there are two addons, 'header tools improved' and 'header tools lite' that may be useful.
Hi David,
Thanks for the references. These woulds require using on every single outbound email, which would be too prohibitive for regular use. However, I think it could be really useful to allow custom injection of additional content into the HTML <head> section on outbound emails.
When writing html emails that are generated out of apps, this allows for all sorts of things that standard email clients do not provide for. Also, it seems a very, very easy feature to implement, given that it only requires a string variable be added to the existing <head> generation code, that can then be accessed and edited through the Config Editor...
Is there a place for submitting feature requests, or is this something I would need to implement in a custom add-on if I wanted to see it happen?
Much appreciated!
go to connect.mozilla.org and file your suggestion in IDEAS. Thanks for your interest in further development.
Submitted. Thank you David. BTW, I have not found any standardized documentation on the many customizable options available through the Config Editor...
Your profile indicates that you have a ton of experience documenting tech and apps. It seems a really fantastic fit to have you building this documentation, with the support of the core Thunderbird development group.
I don't know whether you have the available time or interest, but it's just a thought, and it seems like such a valuable service to the project. Thanks again!
In a Write message window there is the option Insert > HTML, but again it's only in that specific email. However, you could save that email as a template instead of a draft which can be repeatedly reused.
If you use the addon called 'Header tools lite' you can edit the full source of a saved Template.
