Network Lighthouse

Almost a year after the very first release of the RAP4TB plugin and here we are with another version (this is actually beta release #7).   For the first time since the very early releases we have a significant new feature.

Now for for contacts that have profile pictures in facebook, myspace or a couple of other social sites, their profile picture now appears in Thunderbird next to the headers!!  By default Facebook is the preferred source (myspace can be set in the preferences), however if there’s not a picture available then an image from another site (if provided) will be used.

Other changes in this release:

• Emails in the format of name+specifier@host.com are rewritten as name@host.com.  As a side note, the + symbol is valid in an email address, the text after the + sign has no effect on email routing.
• When an email arrives from facebookmail.com, we now lookup the reply-to address instead as it is often more interesting.

Here it is: rap4tb-0.86

As always your feedback is welcome.

Have fun,

-Daniel
