Feedback

1. Inline vs. attachment forwarding
   • Thunderbird package is set to forward "inline" to mimic Eudora when forwarding e-mails.
   • However, when users "E-mail" feature when e-mailing "Authentic" program, it e-mails "Inline" instead of as an attachment.
   • Resolution: Next Thunderbird .cfg will have "Tools>Options>Composition>General>Forward Messages" unlocked.
2.  Signatures
   • Signature handling is more complicated than Thunderbird
   • Resolution:  I will be adding a Signature Extension to make Signature management easier.  You may contact jpaje@uci.edu directly if you need it installed before then.
3. Tags
   • Unable to delete unused "Tags". (Allows you to mark an e-mail as important, work, etc)  If you delete a tag, it re-populates itself at next Thunderbird re-start.  You can add custom tags, but not delete pre-populated tags.
   • Resolution:  In discussion.  Because of the way autoconfig works, if we remove tags in the autoconfig, no tags will be shown for other users that log into that machine.
