Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations
  • Now uses MailServices (clarkbw contribution). This means you need a recent 3.3 build. Only one file converted, still need to move the rest of the files to MailServices.
  • l10n work, see mail on tb-planning
  • Implemented a gallery view for emails with image attachments (mockup by Andy).
  • More work on bug 628669, hoping to get it in for 3.3a3, because the situation is bad with thunderbird-stdlib.
