New Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird Version
by Daniel on Dec.22, 2009, under Rapleaf 4 Thunderbird
The road to becoming an approved Thunderbird plugin is a long and arduous one to be sure, but we are almost there. The sole reason for this release is to move further along that path.
After submitting for approval, the reviewer came back that the code needs to be encapsulated in a javascript object to avoid conflicts in the global namespacce. This makes sense, and is something that I was vaguely aware of although at a primitive level, however not something I had any idea about how to do. The reviewer was thoughtful enough to include a link to an article that explained it all.
So I spent the day rewritting parts of the code and the fixing all the problems I caused in the process and now a new version is out in the wild.
You can get it here.
If you want to help with getting approval I could realy use some more comments, either here or on AMO (the above link). Let me (and the reviewers) know what you think of the plugin and how it makes your email experience better.

First of all, let me congratulate your for RapLeaf 4 Thunderbird. It’s a great addon. I hope you continue developing it, as I find it just right, and does not take a lot of screen estate like SocialMail.
However, as of the last Eudora release, RL4TH is not displaying anymore, perhaps because of some UI incompabilities. Since Eudora is based on Thunderbird, could you look into it? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Eudora_Releases
Thank you, again, for your excellent addon.

Hi RJ,
Thanks for the feedback it’s always good to hear from people that are using it. I’ll add looking at your Eudora issue to the todo list and see what needs to be done. Hopefully it’s as easy as a version check failure so it should be a quick turnaround.
Regards,
Daniel
