Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081204 Thunderbird/3.0b1

Every time I launch Thunderbird, it bothers me about setting up an account.

2008-06-25 – 2.0.0.14 (20080514) ∞

I can do attachments now.
Forwarded messages are attached as unreadable .eml files. I open them and see low-ASCII encoded crap.

2008-05-02 – 2.0.0.9 (20080220) ∞

For a long time, I haven’t been able to forward a message properly. It’s attached as the subject but that attachment has no content.

I found a couple of notes about it, but nothing concrete:

Hey, how do I delete inline images so that I can archive a smaller message?

I’ve been able to delete attached images more easily now, but it’s still not 100%.

2008-02-02 – 2.0.0.6 (20070902) ∞

For the longest time, Thunderbird has had these bugs:

When detaching an attachment, I often have to click within the body of the popup (where the files are displayed) before I can.. click “open”.
- Click “open”? It should be “save”.
- And clicking in that body, it automatically selects the first directory. So when clicking “open” it puts the file in that directory. Boo.
Detaching/deleting attachments often does not remove the attachment. I often have issues with some or all attachments lingering around nomatter what I do.

Message > Tag
=>
Message > Tag

Man, I hate when a new menu item shows up and ousts an existing one that I’ve been relying on. And just why don’t I have hotkeys for tagging? There ought to be some, but I haven’t figured that out..

On top of that, the previous 2.0.0 I used didn’t have this conflict. I wonder if Texstar figured this out for us.

OMG, cursoring up/down has NOT been fixed. I’m editing a draft and I can see it again! Argh..

2007-05-02 – 2.0.0 ∞

Doesn’t have network.protocol-handler.app.http set up by default. =/

2007-03-18 – 1.5.0.9 (20070117) ∞

Apparently the old “unable to write the email to the mailbox” error still exists. I got a piece of spam which started mucking things up until I cleared my trashcan.

Quick searches store their knowledge in their .msf files. Which is lame because those can be deleted when users want to troubleshoot. Sad.

bug 214548 – It would be nice to see a “clone filter” feature. I checked around and the idea is several years old.
BUG: I still cannot save an inline image! Pathetic!
- fixed in 2.0.0.9 or earlier, although there are still some issues with that save dialogue.

2007-03-18 – 1.5 (20060206) ∞

Why doesn’t it know that someone is ok with HTML.. when they sent me an HTML email which I’m replying to? Sigh.

2006-01-09 – (version not recorded) ∞

Thunderbird is so stupid that I have to have a custom user.js so that replying will insert the proper timestamps. Insane defaults.. sigh.

2005-01-16 – (version not recorded) ∞

I really like the it and will seriously use it because it turns out one of my email providers does IMAP. Score one for me for portability.
