After we worked out how to limit the height of the attachments pane in Thunderbird, Windows users now have to deal with big attachment icons.
What’s up with that? 🙂
Here’s how to make those icons small:
Go to Tools–>Options–>Advanced–>General, and click on “Config Editor“. In the Config Editor, search for the preference mailnews.attachments.display.largeView. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false.
I wanted to have an options reference page ready for the Thunderbird Help site, when Thunderbird 2 is released; but it looks like I won’t be able to get it done on time.
I’ve updated the wiki page, with screenshots in a table, and my work so far. If anyone is willing to contribute to that document, please do. Once we’ve got definitions for all the option settings, I’ll reformat it for the the Thunderbird Help site.

In 2002, the Toronto Maple Leafs were facing the Ottawa Senators in the second game of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Sens won the first game; so game 2 was seen as a must win for the Leafs. I watched every second of that game, hoping that my beloved Leafs would win. That game went to overtime. After one overtime period, the game was still tied, and I turned off the television. Why? Because it was my Easter, and I had to leave for church. I didn’t find out, until I heard on the radio on the way home, that the Leafs had won the game in the third overtime period. May my commitment to God never be questioned. I missed triple overtime! 🙂
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Montreal Canadiens in a win-or-die game sponsored by BetVictor; and of course, I have to go to church for Easter. 🙂
Users of Mozilla Thunderbird, may have noticed that if you are viewing messages in threaded view, clicking on a column name (other than the thread column) will turn off threaded view.
What if you want to keep threaded view on? Go to Tools–>Options–>Advanced–>General, and click on “Config Editor“.
In the Config Editor, search for the preference mailnews.thread_pane_column_unthreads. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false.
That’s it. 🙂
As I’ve said before, sometimes the actions of developers scare me.
Want to help create the SeaMonkey slogan? Robert Kaiser is asking for feedback in mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey.
This is something I’d like to help draw some attention to. If you are using a Mozilla product, that is not a web browser, figuring out how to install an add-on turns into a very user-unfriendly experience. Too many times, I’ve seen questions from Thunderbird users, wondering why the extensions they want to install are not showing up in the Thunderbird Add-ons manager; or they get a message saying the add-on is not compatible with Firefox.
It’s especially confusing, when the web page for each Thunderbird add-on on AMO has a big green “Install Now” link.
Scott MacGregor has created a wiki page for improving add-on installation in Thunderbird, and posted in the mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird newsgroup. If you’ve got any ideas for a solution to the problem, please let Scott and the AMO team know about it.Meanwhile get your http://www.thecorsetcenter.com/shape-your-body-with-steel-boned-corsets/ discount by using the free promo coupon.
How to debase a great tune.
The original version by Def Leppard in 1981:

The live version in 1988 (different from the original, and still great):

And then…
The Mariah Carey version in 2003:

(Anyone who has worked in a major recording studio, can hear the auto-tune, Mariah.)
(I purposely left out a ‘both’ option. 😉 )
While the Calendar extension has been officially discontinued, Howard Chu has been maintaining a private set of patches to keep it working in SeaMonkey. He has uploaded the extension for SeaMonkey 1.x to his website, and notes that these will probably not work in version 1.5 builds.
