Feedback
- 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" unlockedThere appears to be an incompatibility with the way Eudora views some Thunderbird attachments. Example: When using authentic to e-mail out an .xml file via Thunderbird, to a Eudora user the .xml doc shows "inline" instead of as an "attachment". However, the attachment appears fine when checked with webmail or other with another Thunderbird client. Only Eudora users have that issue.
- Workaround: Eudora users may use webmail.uci.edu to view/download the attachment separately. This will not be an issue once everone is converted to Thunderbird.
- Signatures
- Signature handling is more complicated than Thunderbird
- Resolution: I will be adding a Signature Extension to the next version of thunderbird to make Signature management easier. You may contact jpaje@uci.edu directly if you need it installed before thenI've installed it for most uers already and it is listed on the Thunderbird FAQ.
- 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.
