Quicktext is an extension for Thunderbird that lets you create templates that can be easily inserted into your own emails.

Opmerking sammeler The Quicktext add-on is useful in the sense that it allows one to pre-define paragraphs, different email (document) sections and proforma letters using variables that is replaced by the address book information of the individual the email is intended for. Quicktext has a much better customization ability than the standard Thunderbird template function. It is easy to customize and individualise emails with the aid of the Quicktext add-on.

Switch the signature on/off or choose a new one from your predefined set.

Opmerking sammeler This Signature Switch add-on, allows you to create and save a number of different email signatures. When you tend to use emails as your primary source of communications, it implies that you often have to "sign" emails differently due to various email contexts. This add-on makes it easy to quickly select the signature that is relevant to or suitable for the email you are writing. Another, less known but very handy, feature of the Signature Switch add-on is to create email signatures files that contains data which can be randomly displayed just below your official signature. The latter function is handy when you wish to display random, e.g. quotes, at the bottom of your email.

Afrikaanse speltoetser troch Dwayne Bailey, Translate.org.za, oaren

Afrikaanse speltoetser vir Mozilla Firefox en Thunderbird

Opmerking sammeler Use the Afrikaans spell checker when you often compile emails in the Afrikaans language. This spell checking add-on is very handy to avoid unnecessary "slips of the keyboard" mistakes. It contains a comprehensive Afrikaans dictionary and a handy tool to have in one's email compiling toolbox. I have been using it for a quite a while now and have to admit that only on rare occasions, I need to add a word to the existing dictionary.

Opmerking sammeler Cleaning address field is just a little bit easier with the Address Close Button add-on. Instead of selecting and then deleting recipients, with this add-on you only click on the x to accomplish the same task. The Close Address Button add-on merely saves you a few keystrokes. But when dealing with a lot of emails during a week, these little time savers tends to add up at the end of the day.

Subject Manager troch TrVTrV

Manages subject of composed emails.

Opmerking sammeler One of the major frustrating issues in receiving emails is the subject line that often is merely re: reply, some meaningless text or - worse - empty subject lines.

The Subject Manager add-on allows you to pre-define "standard" subject lines that you most often use, and which can easily be selected when required. The Subject Manager add-on and the Reject Button add-on, can be a useful combination for one's efforts to root out poorly constructed emails that wastes time and effort.
