feat(mail): add external-editor-revived for kernel-style patch review
Adds the AUR package which deploys both the Thunderbird XPI (as a
system extension under /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions) and the
native messaging host. After restart, TB picks up the extension
automatically.
Use case: review kernel-style patches received by email and reply
with inline review comments without TB mangling tabs/spaces or
auto-wrapping. The addon bypasses TB's compose editor entirely, so
the existing format=flowed/wraplength=72/reply_on_top prefs don't
apply to messages composed through it.
A pointer comment in thunderbird/user.js explains the relationship.
