Sorry about the resubmits, but for some reason, my first ones were not displaying properly.

There is a workaround to get this extension to install in TB2.
Try this...
Download the extension to your desktop. The file name is "newsworthy_for_thunderbird_1.5-0.2.0.4-tb.xpi".
Simply add ".zip" to the end of it. The result will be "newsworthy_for_thunderbird_1.5-0.2.0.4-tb.xpi.zip".
Use Winzip, WinRAR or whatever archiving software you use to open the newly created zip archive. Look for "install.rdf" and drag it out to the desktop.
Click on the start button, click on "Run...", type in "notepad" to open up the Notepad text editor. Drag "install.rdf" into the open Notepad window and you will see the contents of the file as text. Line 27, or about the 5th line from the bottom, should be an "em:maxVersion" tag, with numerical content like "1.5.0.*". Edit that line, changing that numerical content to "3.0.*". With that edit, you are telling the extension that it is OK to install in any TB version earlier than 3.1, which certainly covers any version of TB available as of this time. Save and close the file.
Drag the freshly edited "install.rdf" back over to the archive window to overwrite the unedited version of the file still in the original archive.
Close your archiving program and remove the .zip extension you added, returning the extension file name back to its original state.
Open Thunderbird and install the extension as you would any other. If you did the job correctly, it WILL install! Restart Thunderbird as directed.
For access to the extension's settings, click on "options..." in the "Tools" menu. The "Newsworthy" icon should be the rightmost, or nearly the rightmost of the icons at the top of the menu box. As far as I can tell so far, the extension works properly, though I MAKE NO PROMISES! If I find a problem, I will get back to you.

I really like to try this extension. Could the Author update it to compatible with TB 2? Thank you.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is about the best attempt I've seen at making the news features on Thunderbird, acceptable. Please update it to be compatible with the later versions, and add:
1) The ability to discern between revoking a message and deleting one, so we can finally delete news messages.
2) Cross-post detection, so we don't repeatedly download the same headers for cross posted messages, in every group we read.
3) The ability to format time (hours, minutes, etc.), message IDs, and carriage returns (\n) into message introductions.

Great extension for Thunderbird, but needs to be made compatible with TB2. Any hope of TB2 and TB3 support and further development of features?

Great work, Alf. Any chance of SeaMonkey compatibility?

Like it a lot, but is unavailable now I've upgraded. Is this going to be updated for v2?
