This extension improves the threaded summary for emails in Thunderbird. It vastly improves the UI by including some ideas from GMail. More specifically:
- your own messages are displayed in the thread,
- you initially see summaries, they can be expanded to display full messages,
- quoted sections are collapsed à la GMail,
- fast links for replying (and possibly other useful actions),
- you can reply inline (through a "quick reply" feature).
For screenshots and a stable version, please head to AMO which should provide you with a ready-to-install package.
The master branch of thunderbird-conversations is sometimes only compatible with the Daily-version of Thunderbird (sometimes it won't be, but we'll welcome pull requests to fix that). You can build this from source or get a pre-built binary at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-central/.
Each major release typically has a release branch for that release (e.g. 2.14+). All pull requests should be against the master branch, we may transplant them after landing to the release if we want them on the release branch.
