v1.1.3 "update"...
1) AB Options tab now only populates with NO parameters (NO Tags & ZEROED LIMITS, no matter what might have been saved before)
2) no option to Learn message as during right click on message list item
3) still chews up and down on memory consumption/exhaustion as reported with v1.1.0

Allegedly v1.1.0 works with Tbird 78.x.

Well, here's how...:

1) one of the SLOWEST extensions to load/reload that I have ever witnessed

2) Options page loads EMPTY, hangs (literally for hours), "recovers," then refuses to accept any parameters (sees no existing Tbird tags, accepts no Learning upper limit size, accepts no Judgement log retention), then hangs again,

3) worst possible resource consumption of any extension I have ever witnessed: can variously demand 2GB->20GB of memory while DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, just "idling"). Luckily, it's not a memory leak - all memory is freed up if/when Tbird is exited and/or process-killed

I could go on.

Suffice it to say that this is a really excellent extension in hanging/tying up all of Tbird via ridiculous system resource exhaustion..

(Tbird really needs to be able to throttle runaway resource consumption by badly coded extensions like this one).

Are any of these the reasons why v1.1.0 is BURIED on the Other Versions page??? It sure doesn't show up on the main page.
