Versione 3.10.2 830.3 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 91.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements 3.10.2
  • [issue 170] Added a method to view license extension sooner than 1 month before expiry of Pro license. If you need to extend your license by another year before it expires, you can click the valid date in Settings / SmartTemplates license tab to open the licensing screen to extend it

Bug Fixes 3.10.2
  • [issue 171] SmartTemplates Settings Dialog: Empty Examples tab in Thunderbird 91. This was caused by Thunderbird 91 enabling multi-process browsing which doesn't allow remote iFrames. Examples are now loaded in a browser element instead. Note that the examples are pulled from the support site and as such are always in English only.

Enhancements from 3.10.1
  • [issue 154] Support pushing [Esc] to close template change confirmation. Also removed non-functional buttons from this dialog.
  • [issue 166] Implemented: %recipient% should use reply-to header if present when replying.
  • [issue 150] Removed nag screen which pops up after trial date is expired.

Bug Fixes from 3.10.1
  • [issue 167] Fixed: BCC list entry not expanded with empty "To:" address.
  • [issue 168] Fixed: custom background and text colors ignored in composer when writing new mails.

Versione 3.10.1 828.6 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 91.*

Versione 3.9 823.3 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 91.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements
  • [issue 164] Feature: Added *selection* placeholder for inserting HTML snippets (fragments). This is a SmartTemplates Pro feature.

  • Fixed: [issue 163] With Cardbook installed, SmartTemplates statusbar icon may not be shown.

Miscellaneous

    remove text shadow in html edit boxes for dark themes - this makes the text better readable.

Versione 3.8 852.1 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 91.*

The full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements
  • [issue 142] New feature to insert html Smart snippets within Composer.
  • [issue 151]
    New single variable %recipient% for final recipient to replace %to% / %from% in all templates
  • [issue 147] Added categories / folders to structure template menus

Versione 3.7 774.9 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 91.*

Full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements
  • [issue 118] New variable %clipboard% to insert clipboard contents - this will be inserted
    as HTML if copied from a HTML source such as a webpage or a Word Document. You can also insert HTML source code which will be converted to HTML.
  • [issue 127] Make SmartTemplates compatible with Thunderbird 91:
    • Replaced deprecated fixIterator function.
    • Replaced Array types where necessary.
    • Fixed sliding notifications in composer and icons in all sliding notifications.
    • Fixed about:config dialogs. These are used for adding hidden settings that do not have dedicated User Interface, such as the Debug Settings. Typically they are displayed by right-clicking on an option in the settings dialog.
  • Removed Utilities.openLinkExternally and replaced with messenger.windows.openDefaultBrowser.
  • Splash screen: this is now not shown immediately on update anymore; instead the Statusbar panel and main toolbar button will turn blue and show the splash screen once when clicked. To read it later again, click on the About SmartTemplates tab, and then the first button "Show changes + news". This will show you a quick overview of what's new, localized in 19 different languages. Also simplified contents: removed message about permissions.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed "Buy License" button at bottom of Settings window.
  • Fixed: [issue 143] Template Files - Toolbar buttons missing.
  • Only display standard license upgrade special offer when within the reduction period

Versione 3.6 819.0 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 90.0

Full change log with screen shots can be found here

Enhancements
  • [issue 135] Expand multiple recipients with %to(firstname)% in New Mail Template.

    When replying to an email we expect the variable %to(firstname)% to fill in all recipient names, using the address widget. They will be delimited by the character entered in advanced settings under the Name Rules box.
  • [issue 137]
    SmartTemplates doesn't auto-update to 3.5.4 (because it needs permissions?)

    After adding necessary permissions for using the new mail extension APIs (for accounts and notifications), the user isn't prompted to install the updated Add-on anymore. Instead there is a small yellow "warning" icon added to the main menu button, which must be clicked to reveal questions about adding permissions.

    I noticed that the majority of users suddenly stopped updating and found that the permissions was the likely cause. As this is now standard behavior in Thunderbird in order to prevent users being distracted from their daily workflow, I had to remove the permissions and modern API code and create my own version so I could make sure my users are updated with the latest version. I have no final satisfactory solution for this behavior as conversion to the new APIs is 100% necessary in order to rewrite SmartTemplates for future versions of Thunderbird.

    The main menu button currently has a little yellow warning triangle if Add-ons are awaiting new permissions.

    I hope to either educate my users to complete upgrades by clicking this button or code another method of directly alerting the user from the previous version of SmartTemplates when a new version is available.

Bug Fixes

Miscellaneous
  • Removed animation on Splash screen for licensed users.

Latest News

I have rewritten SmartTemplates for compatibility with Thunderbird 78. We had a few 1000$ costs for my Add-on migrations. The main effort for new features and bug fixes will go into this new version - latest version is 3.5.4.

I may backport some fixes / features for Thunderbird 60-68 in the SmartTemplate version 2.*. See the item lists below for more detail.

If you are interested in using a version of SmartTemplates that works with Thunderbird 78 and later, consider buying a license to support the project.

Versione 3.4.4 755.3 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 74.0 - 78.*

Full change log with screen shots can be found here

Latest News

3.4.4 is a maintenance patch release that fixes a important problem [issue 121] in settings dialog, and also a broken Spanish locale - for details see below.

We had to rewrite much of the code to become compatible with Thunderbird 78. To keep having support sites and ongoing development, please buy a Pro license

Migration to the Thunderbird 78 Add-ons system - mail extensions with experimental APIs - was time intensive and costly. This is only the first step toward future proofing, next year Thunderbird may restrict the use of experimental APIs, which depends on having new APIs available on the Core side of the code. This relies on a good relationship between Add-on developers and the Core team (Thunderbird Council) and requires ongoing talking and design work on both sides; that's why the licensing model once again shows its superiority as it is able to fund the necessary time that needs to be spent.

Improvements
  • [issue 91] Improve functions %deleteQuotedText% and %replaceQuotedText% to work in plain text mode (quote level argument will be ignored). In plain text mode, you can now use this to remove quote marks, with the command %deleteQuotedText("\>\s")% or use %replaceQuotedText("\>\s","| ")% to replace the quote marks with straight vertical lines
  • [issue 71] Added support for setting non-standard header attributes starting with "List" e.g. List-Unsubscribe
  • [issue 82] Improved / fixed warning messages for users with expired licenses. Added a notice about soon-to-expire license in status bar.

Changes / Bug Fixes
  • [issue 117] %header.set(from,"some@address.com")% not working in Thunderbird 78. You can now also add a name when setting the from address. For example %header.set(from,"Postmaster <postm@address.com>")% This function only works if the Email address is listed in any identity (including aliases).
  • [issue 115] Erratic %datetime()% results when forcing HTML with Shift. This happens when your account is configured to use plain text and you force a HTML reply using the Shift key. If you need special characters or HTML entities within your Dates, and encounter unexpected results, try breaking it up into separate %datetime()% calls.
  • Fixed: With option "Remove email address unless format parameter is specified", mail parts such as %from(...,mail)%, %from(...,bracketMail())% were removed
  • [issue 119] (fixed in 3.4.2) XML Parsing Error settings dialog (it / sv / uk locales)
  • 3.4.3 - open the license tab when status icon is clicked with expired license to make renewal easier.
  • [issue 120] Spanish locale broken which creates an error when options screen is displayed (since 3.4.1)
  • [issue 121] Common settings are shown even though the correct account seems to be selected!

Latest News

I have rewritten SmartTemplates for compatibility with Thunderbird 78. We had a few 1000$ costs for my Add-on migrations. The main effort for new features and bug fixes will go into this new version - latest version is 3.2.

I have backported some fixes / features for my Thunderbird 60-68 users in the SmartTemplate version 2.13 - 2.*. See the item lists below for more detail.

If you are interested in using a version of SmartTemplate&#8308 that works with Thunderbird 78 and later, consider buying a license to support the project.


Improvements
  • [issue 61] %quotePlaceholder(quoteLevel)% new function for including quoted mail within the template for styling - use the numeric quoteLevel parameter to exclude older quotes from the conversation. If a quote Header is configured in the account template this will be moved with the top of the quote.
  • [issue 96] Provide keyboard accelerators for Template picker.
  • Rebranded from SmartTemplate4 to SmartTemplates for simplification.
  • [issue 100] Trial period should restart on license expiry for registered users who had a valid license before.
  • Improved shop integration for extending / renewing Domain licenses
  • Fixed support links to use secure protocol.
  • Made toggling spellcheck through %spellcheck()% function more reliable.

Bug Fixes
  • [issue 108]Fixed: Other Add-ons may accidentally duplicate template if they change the from address in Composer

We had to rewrite much of the code to become compatible with Thunderbird 78. To keep having support sites and ongoing development, please buy a Pro license

Migration to the Thunderbird 78 Add-ons system - mail extensions with experimental APIs - was time intensive and costly. This is only the first step toward future proofing, next year Thunderbird may restrict the use of experimental APIs, which depends on having new APIs available on the Core side of the code. This relies on a good relationship between Add-on developers and the Core team (Thunderbird Council) and requires ongoing talking and design work on both sides; that's why the licensing model once again shows its superiority as it is able to fund the necessary time that needs to be spent.

Improvements
  • New function (SmartTemplates Pro): %conditionalText(forwardMode,"inlineText","attachText")%
    inserts text based on forwarding inline vs attached; added by Artem (conductor111 on github).
  • Omit update popup for users with licenses > 40days
  • Domain Licenses can now be renewed (and extended 30 days before expiry) directly from the license dialog.
  • Reopening existing tabs on support site now correctly jumps to in page links (such as #donate)
  • Some minor improvements in layout for settings dialog and license screen.

Changes / Bug Fixes
  • [issue 98] - Fixed: %header.set(to,"[addressee]")% no longer working
  • [issue 100] - Trial period should restart on license expiry
  • Fixed some errors in Serbian, Slovenian and Portuguese help sections.
  • Fixed reminder for premium functions - this notification should be shown if a Standard User uses functions reserved for SmartTemplates Pro Users

  • [issue 85] - fixed more dead links linking to old mozdev bugzilla bugs (these are now archived on quickfolders.org)

Changes / Bug Fixes
  • Use the new mail extension with experiment APIs method (WindowLoader). This loads the overlay dynamically - the advantage being that the Add-ons now works without restarting. You can also disable / uninstall without having to restart Thunderbird.
  • Removed Shim Code - this was code for backwards compatibilty with older Thundebrird versions as well as SeaMonkey and Postbox
  • Removed support for SeaMonkey
  • Removed Stationery references & configuration
  • Rewrote filling in variables and focus method to work with new address widgets
  • Rewrite all template dropdowns. This is based on a hack supplied by John Bieling, thanks very much for all the help.

Bug Fixes
  • [issue 75]
    Clicking %style% from variables tabs inserts %file% instead.

    This is not intended, as only the %style(file.css)% command will produce predictable results for including file names. With this fix, clicking on the %file()% variable in the variables tab will now insert the correct syntax in the template area.
  • [issue 74] In some cases the menu templates in compact header reply buttons are doubled up
  • [issue 73] Improve Name Capitalization: support double names, such as "Klaus-Dieter"

Enhancements
  • [issue 24] Select a different html template file while composer is open. Note that any manually entered text will be discarded when you change the template, so do this before you start typing.

    In order to do this the new Change Template button can be added via right-click and Customize on the composer toolbar. After adding the button, reopen the Composer window to update it with the appropriate template list (write / reply or forward).
  • [issue 60] Fixed some barriers with screenreader navigation in Settings Dialog. All buttons on the settings screen can now be executed without mouse clicks. Also the licensing message will be displayed as a OS notification which will be read out by the widely accepted JAWS reader. It appears that NVDA still cannot read these. Many thanks to my user Rüdiger L. for testing this with me.
  • Completed translations for Serbian locale.
  • 2.11.1: Add change template button to toolbar automatically. I don't think many people have actually seen or tried it even though it was a much requested feature. Keep forgetting that nobody has time to read change logs - a feature that cannot be seen might as well not be there.
  • Add translations for the new "change template" button in Composer.

Bug Fixes
  • 2.11 [issue 64] Regression: external template is removed when changing "from:" address. This was caused by changes in [issue 24].

  • 2.11.1 [issue 67] Regression (2.11): License warning screen comes up unexpectedly and number of "To:" rows restricted

  • 2.11.1 [issue 68] Regression (2.11): After update SmartTemplate⁴ always displays nonlicensed support sites

Enhancements
  • [issue 59] External templates: SmartTemplate&#8308 now supports image tags with relative location. This will make external templates management more compatible with Stationery and make it easier to preview / trouble shoot our templates in a web browser.

    In order to use relative image paths, such as <img src="images/img1.jpg"> these tags must be included in a html template. To use this in an account template, simply include the external html file using the %file()% variable. When SmartTemplate opens the file, it will now remember the file's location and be able to insert images from this position, just like when loading a stored web page.

    After placing the cursor in the template field, expand the dialog via Advanced and open the chapter fixed variables. Then Click on the %file()% variable and select a file from disk.
  • [issue 56] Support including external style sheets. Use the new %style()% variable to insert a style block wtih CSS rules. Also, supports relative paths, just like %file()%.
  • Remember the last path separately for opening templates from the menu directly.

Bug Fixes
  • [issue 51] Outgoing SMTP always using DEFAULT account. When changing the from address from the drop down before editing the email, Thunderbird did not internally change the from header, which could cause emails to be sent from the wrong account. This is now fixed.
  • [issue 54]Fixed: ST4 now removes unwanted empty lines in reply/forward headers in plain-text emails.
  • [issue 55] Added back some of the support for Postbox, which was broken since v2.1. You can find patched versions of previous releases at the issue.
  • [issue 58] If firstName is guessed from the address book field DisplayName, it can lead to last name duplication in case a format like %from(firstname,lastname)% is used and the first name field in the address card is empty.

Versione 2.9.1 652.1 KiB Compatibile con Thunderbird 60.0 - 69.0

Hotfix 2.9.1
  • [issue 53] template may not work if signature path is invalid.

    On mail accounts where a non-existent path is defined for signature the template functionality may break on singular accounts. Typically an exception will be displayed in error log:
    insertTemplate - exception during parsing. Continuing with inserting template

Improvements
  • [issue 45] Support for using %file()% with relative paths and nesting %file()% variables within a template. Also supports this for including more html parts and images in subfolders relative to the template.
  • [issue 48] Support [[optional double brackets]] syntax for all extended address book fields. This will make it possible to show more information from the Addressbook without causing half-empty lines:
    <h3>Sender Info</h3>
    Sender: %from%
    [[Mail: %from(mail)% <br>]]
    [[First Name: %from(firstname)% <br>]]
    [[Name: %from(name)% <br>]]
    [[Additional mail: %from(additionalmail)% <br>]]
    [[Work City: %from(work.city)%<br>]]
    [[Web Page: %from(work.webpage)%<br>]]
  • Remember the last path separately for opening templates from the menu directly.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: [issue 42] The (lastname) switch uses first name from address book if only a single name is matched from the received address. This affects any address book switch of the format %from(lastname)%, provided there is only a single name in the transmitted email address, e.g. john@mail.com.
  • Fixed: [issue 41] No file template menus in single message window
    Single message windows (not tabs) did not support replying / writing mails using the external HTML template files.
  • Fixed: [issue 43] %file(template)% doesn't work on Mac for paths that start with "/user". Unfortunately, it is still not supported to use relative <img> paths in a html file, but when using %file(img)% using a path relative to the location of the template should be possible now when used from within an external HTML template file.

    Ideally we will need this to support <img> paths as well.
  • Fix: Remove double quote from alt attribute in %file(image,alttext)%
  • Fixed: Do not run cleanupDeferredFields() on quoted elements. This leads to problems with %file()% variables in replied emails (both correspondents have to use SmartTemplate⁴ for this problem to occur.
  • Fixed: [issue 46] In Thunderbird 60, mixed Stationery / SmartTemplate, external html file items added by SmartTemplate⁴ do not work.
  • Fixed: [issue 49] CSS pattern %;-ms-text-size-adjust:100%; is falsely recognized as header variable.
