Thanks again everyone for all the hard work in making this beta possible. A special thanks for Marcia, Jay Patel, and the folks that jumped in and helped with the beta BFT testing earlier this week/weekend.

Do you really have to do a fresh install? Will it install over an existing 1.1 alpha 2 build pre-branching? 08-09-2005 build?

[StoneCold]

Well done, mscott. With every release, Thunderbird will be better and better.

Looking forward to see your Trunk patch for Bug285076 in Beta 2.

Return receipt still not working, 1 account has it set as a global pref and it doesnt set it when you select an identity from that account.

Is there a more detailed list of what's new, aside from the very-high-level list in the release-notes? I'm looking for something more like the alpha-release notes, where you list each area of the program that's been updated.

The Rumbling Edge has changelogs for the alpha versions.

I installed over the alpha 2 build without any problems.

Adaptive filtering is not required when using the "Trust Junk Mail headers set by" option but in the junk mail controls, there is still no way of handling these junk messages.

The "Handling" option in the junk mail controls need to be enabled if the "Trust Junk Mail Headers set by" is enabled.

any chance to get the close to tray extension working?

[Old RPGM35]

have you tried bumping the maxversion up?

have you tried bumping the maxversion up?

I did it and it works. I bumped CrossOver theme, too, but it broke Thunderbird. Pity, it was my favorite.

I like it. I am hoping the privacy setting that allows AV programs to quarantine individual emails will prevent the Inbox trashing that has occurred if AV is enabled.

Also, noticed one strange thing. Although Help -> About returns "version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908)", the x-mailer header in my posts reads:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Thunderbird/1.0.6 Mnenhy/0.7.2.0

Anyone else seen this? (I have removed all extensions).

GordMcFee:
Have a look in your prefs.js or the Tools > Options > Advanced > Config Editor - there's a user agent override, which Mnenhy added.

how would I do that?

how would I do that?

Open extension.xpi in WinRAR. Open install.rdf and edit max.version from 1.0+ to say 1.7. Save changes, close WinRAR. Install extension.
