Scriptable Notifications

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been using Thunderbird for many years but I never liked the notification mode. In 2007 I installed a Yamb add-on that allowed to call an external program and I developed my own notifier with VB6. I used it for a very long time until the add-on was no longer supported by Thunderbird and from that moment I had to use the default notification. Unfortunately last week, for some reason the default notification stopped working and I could not reactivate it. I found this add-on whose author I thank, it allowed me to reactivate my old notifier. It was not easy because VB6 does not natively manage stdin or JSON but I can again use the notifier that suits my use.
