Delayed sending of e-mail
When pressing send in Outlook Express, then the e-mail will be placed in the Outbox, and the next time it synchronizes with the mail-server then it will be sent. Thunderbird will immediately send the email, so if used to be able to edit a sent e-mail by going to the Outbox then you will be disappointed.MagicSLR can replace the Send button with a Send Later button, which places the email in the Unsent folder.
Reply and forward header are awful
When replying to a mail then one doesn't get the pretty header showing the details of the message replying to. Instead one get the following:TB Reset Quote Header Extension (Change Quote / smarttemplate4) can create a reply-header based on templates files quoteHdr.txt and quoteHdrHtml.txt.[Author] wrote:"
Reply will perform quote with indent character
There is no option in Thunderbird to disable indent of the reply quote or change the indent character. This can lead to quite obscure emails when replying back and forth between two e-mail clients each with their own idea of how to indent.QuoteAndComposeManager can remove the indent character when making a reply.
Hi
Thanks for the great article.
1 question. I find that the configuration for the problem "Reply and forward header are awful" is quite troublesome.
Just wondering if there is a better workaround for this now?
Thanks.
Sadly enough this issue is a low priority feature, and the statement Reply header can be changed to virtually anything is a truth with modifications as new lines are not supported.
Just use the "Work Offline" option under "File" in the Menu Bar while making all the emails. Go online when you finished and finally want to send everything.
