SmartTemplate

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

If you manage multiple accounts, say two mailboxes or a mailbox and a newsgroup, you must positively set SmartTemplate Options for both. Otherwise, you'll get what appear to be unpredictable results by letting the second account remain "defaulted". It doesn't exactly. What I had to do is Tools -> Account Settings -> Composition & Addressing (for the second account) and then click Edit templates and quote header..., uncheck Use common. Then I just left the settings in the tabs alone and I had my default newsgroup reply and forward behavior back. Otherwise, I like what this add-on did for my primary mail account.

This is a good add-on/extension. However, it does not rid one of the horribly annoying blue line down the left side of a reply (something that showed up in Thunderbird 2.x as I recall). There is no way to get rid of that by configuration.

After installing and bouncing Thunderbird, reach the configuration for this add-on via Tools -> Account Settings -> Composition and Addressing. There you will see a button to get you to where you can insert the excellent suggested text by reviewr BT Justice on 9 June 2010. I would suggest, however, that you bump his font size to 4.
