Sorry but I still don't see the UA string when I view all headers.

it's not always there for some reason, and sometimes it's referred to as "X-Mailer", as far as I can tell..

but you should be able to see the UA string in messages composed by you..?

noticed no other 'problems' so far, besides the already known ones..


I cheated and didn't do a full pull of mozilla which is why the date looks wrong. I was just grabbing some mailnew changes in this build. Sorry about that.

I doubt it. I spin up each of these builds by hand. I can either spend an evening working on thunderbird or making a nightly build. I only release a new windows build after I've actually gotten some work done on it.

Btw, I will be out of town until next Wednesday so don't look for new builds or replies from me in the forum until the end of next week. Hopefully things won't fall apart while I'm gone =).

Spellchecker

Post by smallcreep »

Tried adding the current en-GB.dic and en-GB.aff files to the components\myspell directory, but though the spellchecker seemed to recognise them, they refuse to work correctly, either detecting no errors or correcting according to US spellings. Is the multi-language feature not implemented yet, or is there a parameter somewhere I need to change?

All I can do is point you to the spell checker website:

http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/

That's all I know about it. Good luck.

Could this be added? I am very quickly losing track of which build I am using, and a quick and easy way to find out would be a real plus!

I expect we won't see it until there is a full fledged build. Believe it or not, we are only at 0.1a.

Font problem

Post by kansaki »

I am using the 2003-04-16 build, it works fine for me :)
But when I tried the newest build, that is 2003-05-08, the font changed.
I was using a font for Chinese Characters in the 2003-04-16 build, but the 2003-05-08 build seems can't change to that font at all. I tried to use a new profile, but I still got that problem... :(

Hope you understand my poor English ^^"

Yes, thunderbird is not good for chinese user.

Post by ganlu »

for something I know the latest 05-08build got a big performance improvemnet but worse chinese charactor support.
1, It can't support autodetect chinese. Anyway it works fine in 0416builds.
2, It displays my chinese(simplifed or tranditional) emails sender or header a mess.
3, It does better than the bat, but a long way to go if there is becky! in this field.
4, I get a strange Microsoft Visual C++ error message now, If I click for windowsxp startpanel/startmenu. But if I launch it form the install folder, nothing wrong. I am not sure it is a problem of thunderbird. I will check it out in the later.
THK for people has worked hard for this mail client. I use firebird as my default browser, and I hope i can use thunderbird that way too.

I changed the font to a Traditional Chinese font everywhere I can make changes, but still no change at the place where I read mails.

I don't mean that it cannot display Chinese, but the font does not chnage, that's the problem.
