This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.11.1). 

United States English Spellchecker

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by Jorg K on March 20, 2016 ·

Very useful. I like that the new version 8.1 uses the "large" SCOWL dataset (look for the Wordlist project on SourceForge for details) including common variants (like "advisor" instead of "adviser") and accented words (like "Bogotá" or "cliché"). It's restartless and therefore easy to use.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (8.1). 

Dictionary Switcher

Sadly not compatible with Thunderbird 38 any more, since in that version the spell check language in the compose windows has been decoupled from the preference.

Shrunked Image Resizer

I've been using this add-on for years, it's a must-have.

However, in version 3.0.1 it started rotating some pictures in an erratic an unpredictable way. I hope this will be fixed soon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.1.1-signed).  This user has other reviews of this add-on.

IE View

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

This is a disgrace! I have used this add-on for years, and now this: It silently turned itself into ADWARE. Some strange pop-up ads are shown and it is hard to pin them down to this add-on. I plead for immediate steps to remove this add-on from Mozilla's official add-on site.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.5.5.1-signed.1-signed).

It's a "must have" plugin. Without it, Thunderbird couldn't compete with Outlook.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.9.2.1-signed). 

Signature Switch

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

by Jorg K on April 24, 2012 ·

Very nice plugin. It made me want to dig out the old signatures that I used years ago, because I can now easily pick one.

Fantastic that it can open the signature file in the editor of my choice.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.6.9). 

Markov Dictionary Switcher

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

by Jorg K on April 24, 2012 ·

It doesn't install for Thunderbird 11. I had to manipulate the install.rdf file.

I configured it to detect German, English and Spanish.

I had the spelling set to German and started typing in English. After a while the switcher switched to English. So I was happy. But then, after some more typing, it switched to Spanish. Hmm. Obviously one can set the correct language manually, so this sort of plugin is just a little icing on the cake, but sadly it ain't working.
