My Reviews

Signature Switch

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One hard to find and little spoken about feature that I think makes this a great add-on is the "hybrid" signature. This is where you can offer different signatures for HTML or Plain Text in the same file.

Basically it goes::
Plain Text
=
HTML

This is so useful as you can include images and detailed HTML styling and know that plain text readers will still see a nice clean signature.

Unfortunately Thunderbird doesn't support this so if you have the signature switched on by default in the Account Settings you see both versions. My one criticism of this Add-on is that it deals with Plain/HTML Signatures differently to how Thunderbird natively handles them which can be confusing at first. Especially as Thunderbird doesn't make it easy to switch between HTML and Plain Text email formatting. Using both methods without the hybrid signature means you either have no line breaks in one or extra <br>s in the other.

Export Calendar To Text

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Two features i'd like to see added to this are:
1. A duration field, which automatically calculates the duration of the event from the start/stop times
2. A "delete after export" function removing the events from the calendar after they've been saved.

With these two features, someone who is self-employed and charges by the hour will be able to keep track of what times they are working in a certain calendar file and then export the hours involved to a spreadsheet or word document to invoice or store in their accounts.

Lovely extension. clears the screenspace until you need it. The 500ms wait time was a little too long for me so I chose 200. i love the depth of customisation!

Persistent Read-Only Calendars

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not needed in latest sunbird - read-only is now persistent (and there's even a little lock symbol to prove it)
