From 415d55a7b5f87dec2d5ecfe3cd109c0530e4cbd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:24 +0100 Subject: 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. --- thunderbird/user.js | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'thunderbird/user.js') diff --git a/thunderbird/user.js b/thunderbird/user.js index 4ec057a..d65e71d 100644 --- a/thunderbird/user.js +++ b/thunderbird/user.js @@ -18,7 +18,10 @@ user_pref("mail.inline_attachments", false); user_pref("mail.mdn.report.enabled", false); user_pref("mail.incorporate.return_receipt", 0); -/** Compose — plain text, format=flowed wrap at 72 **/ +/** Compose — plain text, format=flowed wrap at 72. + ** For kernel-style patch review, use the External Editor Revived addon + ** (Ctrl-E in compose); it bypasses TB's editor so flowed/wrap/top-post + ** below don't apply to those messages. **/ user_pref("mail.identity.default.compose_html", false); user_pref("mail.default_html_action", 2); user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", true); -- cgit v1.3.1
