 |
|
Hi,
there is a thunderbird-addon with the super-cool feature to create links to single e-mails for applications outside thunderbird. You might create a document that way that links to a specific email. Way cool.
But: I cannot make it work. I followed the instructions for ubuntu (with appropriate paths):
| Code: | You'll need to update your ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list:
under [Added Associations], add the line
x-scheme-handler/thunderlink=thunderbird-tl.desktop;
then, make a copy of your ~/.local/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop and name it thunderbird-tl.desktop
Change the line that starts with
Exec=thunderbird %u...
to
Exec=thunderbird -thunderlink %u...
and the line that starts with
MimeType=...
to
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/thunderlink;
this entry for Thunderbird will thus serve only for handling ThunderLinks. |
Creating the links works, but link marking and following does not work, even inside thunderbird itself. Any ideas?

hi,
do you still have issues getting the plugin to work? I only tested it on Ubuntu and Win7 and don't know much about gentoo, but maybe I can help.
- can you call TB with the -thunderlink option and the actual link and does it give you the correct email?
- were you able to follow the instructions or did you have to diverge somewhere? (I just found out that things have changed a little in Ubuntu 12.04, for instance)

ps: v0.06 has another option that adds the path to the TB executable before the link; you can paste that into .sh files (in case that's an interesting usecase for you) |
