Search For Sender

Source code - addons.mozilla.org page - Version history

This was done as a request for someone on the Mozillazine forums. The extension adds two items to the threadpane context menu, ‘Search for this sender’ and ‘Search for this subject’. This basically takes the sender or subject of the selected message, copies it to the QuickSearch window and starts the search. Useful for filtering out all messages in a thread, or all messages from a sender.

Works with: Thunderbird: 1.5 – 2.0.0.*
Latest version: 1.0

   Fantastic idea for an add-on, but I get an invalid file hash when I try to install it - both here and on the mozilla.org site. Is the xpi file corrupt?

   I should mention that I’m using Thunderbird 1.5.0.9.

   Hi

   I haven’t tested version 0.2 with 1.5 but I didn’t think it would matter because all I changed was the supported version. But try one thing, goto
   https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/3851
   and try installing the older version, 0.1. I know that worked for me when I had TB 1.5 so it should work for you. There are no functional differences between 0.1 and 0.2. Let me know how it goes, I might have to change the supported version for 0.2

   As in, I’m currently using 2.0.0.12

   The extension used to work for 2.0.*. Did it stop working when you upgraded to .12 or has it never worked for you? I don’t use Thunderbird myself anymore so I haven’t tested in a while.
