Thanks for the quick reply.

That's the way Outlook, Pocomail/Barca, Mulberry and probably most other email clients do it, and that's the way I find most intuitive. I had to customize my userChrome.css and my userChrome.xml with bindings to be able to have attachments on top in Thunderbird. It'd be wonderful if TotalMessage gave us that option.
sorry, that's a wontfix.
Ok, I guess it'd be, but I thought I'd ask anyway
Even if it's not a feature of TotalMessage, would it be possible to do it via css customizations and bindings, as I'm currently doing?
- Could the "actions line" (for lack of a better term) of the Attachments Toolbar be made toggle-able? I find it too large to be displayed constantly over (or below, if my "attachments-on-top" wish comes true) the attachments.
View->Toolbars->Attachment Toolbar
Oh, I see, I thought the "Attachments Toolbar" was
the whole thing, not just the top line. My bad.
- Two minor cosmetic issues: the splitter between the headers and the message is too thick. A simple line would look better IMHO.
you missed the Border box in Customize Headers?
Do I sense some irony in your reply?
I guess I thought of it as a splitter rather than a border, that's why I missed that box.
- Finally, the instructions for using TotalMessage are sometimes not clear enough. It took me a bit of trial and error to find out how to customize the headers. I'm still wondering whether there is an option of setting the aligment (right or left) for each header in the header pane or not.
i'm sure no one has ever stated doc is clear enough in the history of software. plus, i'm not sure you read the doc on the homepage thoroughly anyway
. this is an ultra poweruser extension, for people who can tell 1px differences and can click around and figure it out. (there is only left alignment and no bidi support).
I wasn't criticizing you, or at least I didn't mean to. Sorry if you perceived it that way. The documentation for TotalMessage is actually very good, particularly when comparing it to the documentation of most other add-ons. And yes, I should have read it twice. But I don't agree that this extension should be just for ultrapower users. In fact, this should replace the current message reader pane for all Thunderbird users in the future. I hope it does, it's certainly a much easier way of customizing it than looking at CSS rules with DOM inspector.
Anyway, thanks for developing it (and publishing, documenting and supporting it). I'm sure that many users will find it extremely useful.
One final question: where can I find the icons you used for contacts (the one that looks like a card) and for header toggling?
