With Thunderbird 31.0 FollowReply prevents the appearance of TB's native "external content warning" bar which appears below the the header of HTML-formatted messages containing embedded content (e.g., images). The warning bar is used to allow the activation of external content from known and presumed safe sources. Turning this addon off brings the warning bar back.

This nice addon does not not work from grouped folders. For example, clicking on the reply arrow doesn't initiate a search and results in the error (shown below), but if you change to the Inbox of the account, it works!

This sometimes does not work. FR generated this error output on an IMAP message in the Group Inbox:
-----
Fehler: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIMsgDatabase.GetMsgHdrForKey]" nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://followreply/content/followreply.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 27" data: no]
-----
The reply is in the IMAP Sent folder and is found when FR is started from the account Inbox. FR works on most other messages when started in Grouped folders.

Very nice, indeed, even if exceedingly slow on IMAP accounts having a lot of folders. The performance could be improved by being able to specify which folders should be searched for replies and a possibility to cancel a lonnnngggg search.
It would be great to see this developed further!
