OOps

Found a stupid typo in the code, fixed it and

IT WORKS WITH IMAP !

the fixed version has been uploaded to the site.. same version number

Note that it *might look* like its frozen when doing the copy back to imap store but leave it be... ( at least it does on my setup ... I use ISDN .. UGG )

Hi Frank,

IMHO it would be a good idea to have a submenu (in Tools menu) for all the AttachTools entries.

Thunder DE,

While your suggestion has merit, I wouldn't like for the AttachmentTools entries to get 'lost'. I think having them in the tools menu as they are ( with seperators above n below ) is good enough.

But... I can see where it would be a problem for some ( that have umpteen extensions, all adding entries to the tools menu, thus making the tools menu very akward

I *might* research making a pref that allows the AttachmentTools entries populate a submenu of tools..

Good nuf ?

Ok, it seems to kind of worked (trying on a third computer at work). . .it deleted the attachment, put the email back, but it was the only message that showed in that folder. I left the folder and came back and the rest of the messages were still there. . .good thing. . .:-) Do I need to check the automatically compact option?

Hmmm,

Shouldn't have to... ( auto compact )

Have not experienced THAT before... is this on an IMAP store or a local folder ? ( don't see why it would make a diff but ... )

IMAP folder, did the same thing on two different IMAP servers on two different computers.

Crazy firefox downloads. . .I download it three times before I finally just opened IE and downloaded it. . .to get the right version.

I just found this plugin, and it's great! Had a few initial problems of the same sort as Techfan, but it's working now.

If thanks were money, you'd be a rich man ausdilecce! Here's my contribution to your thankyou-bag - thanks a huge bunch! :D

Some suggestion on usefull features (at least for myself :-) ) for detaching attachment

* The placeholder that indicates that the attachment have been deleted is a pure text file,
html would be more usefull: this allows to directly have a link to the file

* If there is already a file with the same name on the directory on which the file should be detached,
don't overwrite it. Rename the file (foo.doc should become foo~1.doc and so on)

I can implement theses features.

If you could that would be great.. If you can then send me the xpi, I will adjust the contributors entry in the install.rdf file and upload the new xpi to the site ..

Thanks in advance
