Brand new RWH v3.0.0 Mail Extension for TB future roadmap

In the #99 issue tracking, the short-term goal of adding TB 78 has been done and released to ATN.

This issue is to track the new development of RWH v3.0.0 Mail Extention development.

@frazar @ofa- @rostafiychuk I'm working on the WebExtension version of RWH. The branch is here.

I require a sample string of the following in multiple languages for a Plain Text email.

Thanks, @p91paul, for your help.

Sorry, I can't provide with anything more than what you already have 😅

Thanks, @ofa-. I require the translation provided by Thunderbird since I need to process plain text emails generated by Thunderbird.

@jeevatkm then maybe go look into the TB source / i18n ?

for fr, from the TB android github repo: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/blob/18e414fe2fd6d60005ae4adb53e3b4e847d9984e/app/ui/legacy/src/main/res/values-fr/strings.xml#L170

for .ja: https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/blob/18e414fe2fd6d60005ae4adb53e3b4e847d9984e/app/ui/legacy/src/main/res/values-ja/strings.xml#L168

EDIT:

That said, if you are going to be replacing the text you search, you might as well use the TB i18n api itself to give you the exact correct string to look for, no ?

@ofa- Thanks for the message. I did that exercise already, but I couldn't find a reference here. That's why I'm trying my luck with RWH users to collect data.

I'm planning to reach out to https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/addons next.

Just so you know, the above code reference you have shared belongs to the K-9 Android mobile app, not a TB desktop app.

Hello RWH Users -

I have created an RWH {Web|Mail}Extension version of the add-on. The v3 version is a complete rewrite from the ground up. Please try it and share feedback.
I have developed a significantly improved and capable RWH in v3. You will find it to be a significant enhancement to your workflow.

Cheers, Jeeva

It requires minimum, TB v125 - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/125.0/

problem in "object"

old version

more correct
the "RE" is removed

new version

the "RE" is present

;)

then I found that it's not good for newsserver accounts, ok they should be disabled.
But could they have already been disabled at the start?
Or is it even better to have an answer made specifically for this type of account?

@gabri25ele I have validated it. The RWH v3 add-on does not add any prefix to the subject, e.g.,Re:; it must be TB v125 that is doing it. So, can you try TB v125 with the RWH v3 add-on?

I didn't understand the following three lines. What did you mean?

I tried 125 thunderbird,
this image

is from 125.

Thunderbird is also a news reader, read newsgroup, so with newsserver, for example news.solani.org, the reply is not good, the quote message not work properly.

@gabri25ele Did you mean the subject for Re: => RE: on the header attribution?

Now I understand, thanks. FYI, RWH always supported only Mail accounts.

yes, in fact just deactivate the accounts on the list
the problem is only with the object
#103 (comment)

in some emails it puts me RE in others only R, look here

@gabri25ele That tells us that TB itself has an issue.

Hello RWH Users -

Now RWH v3.0.0.beta2 is ready! FYI, the v3 version is a complete rewrite from the ground up. Please try it and share feedback.

from this "problem" #103 (comment)
nothing changed with RWH v3.0.0.beta2

@gabri25ele I have investigated it; the R problem is coming from TB; the RWH addon doesn't do that. So please report it TB as a bug.

RWH only acts if it sees the Re: or Fwd:; otherwise, nothing happens.
Code reference:

Lines 441 to 449 in f70e382

    
           _transformSubjectPrefix(subject) { 
        
               if (subject.startsWith(rwhSettings.replySubjectPrefix)) { 
        
                   return subject.replace(rwhSettings.replySubjectPrefix, 'RE:') 
        
               } 
        
               if (subject.startsWith(rwhSettings.forwardSubjectPrefix)) { 
        
                   return subject.replace(rwhSettings.forwardSubjectPrefix, 'FW:'); 
        
               } 
        
               return subject; 
        
           }

I have submitted the RWH v3.0.0 addon to ATN for review.

	_transformSubjectPrefix(subject) {
	if (subject.startsWith(rwhSettings.replySubjectPrefix)) {
	return subject.replace(rwhSettings.replySubjectPrefix, 'RE:')
	}
	if (subject.startsWith(rwhSettings.forwardSubjectPrefix)) {
	return subject.replace(rwhSettings.forwardSubjectPrefix, 'FW:');
	}
	return subject;
