Hi. Could you create a http://kb.mozillazine.org account for me. Preferred user name: peter.kehl, peter-kehl, peter_kehl, peterkehl, please.

I'm a Mozilla Documentation Network contributor (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/profiles/peter.kehl). I'd like to update http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining (since it's obsolete, as per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1166780).

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to be part of the KB editing group, as I would like to correct errors and add details to pages for both Thunderbird and Firefox.
I have been using both for nearly a decade, and am constantly coming across areas that are wrong on incomplete.

I created a KB account for you and sent you a PM with the details. Sorry about the very long delay, I didn't get the automatic notification of a new post and rarely look at this thread due to the low traffic.

Hi, could you please edit the page http://kb.mozillazine.org/Winmail.dat_attachments changing the link for Winmail Opener from download.com to the direct URL of program: https://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/winmail_opener/. Also, supported operating systems are "Windows 95 -Windows 10".
Or, I can update this page myself if I get a KB account.
Thanks.

Thanks, one more note. That is the meaning of the word "though", used many times on this page in sentences like "Windows 95X though Windows 10"? I think there should be the word "through": "Windows 95X through Windows 10".

It was a spelling mistake. Now corrected with 'through to', for clarity.

Good evening,

I would like to get an account for the wiki?
The wiki page has some outdated links and I would like to fix it and probably add another free provider.
InstantSSL is not providing free S/Mime certificates (not even 3 months trial one)

Thanks and all the best.

The KB has been locked and put into archive mode so its no longer possible to edit it

If you read the first post for this thread and the post above you would see the mozillaZine KB has been in archive mode with no ability to do KB edits for a while now.

Mozilla has their own KB at support.mozilla.org in case you are interested.

Perhaps this should be locked since nobody can edit the mozillaZine KB anymore.

Edit: unlocked since the KB can be edited now.

I suggest an edit to

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_ ... hunderbird

change

var hdr = top.opener.gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

to

var hdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

I could not make the current command work but I found the suggested replacement in a superuser forum and it does work in error console. I do not feel knowledgeable enough to register and change anything.
