Re: Linux newsreaders

Verily I say unto thee, that Bill Baker spake thusly:

The clickable msg-id references you yearn for:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/595

Needs the "MR Tech Local Install" plugin to keep it compatible with
newer Tbird releases:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/421

And the Mnenhy plugin for more advanced functionality:

The MessageFaces plugin to view X-Face avatars:

A list of all keyboard shortcuts:

I agree that not having shortcuts for "View Threads with Unread" and
"View Watched Threads with Unread" is bloody annoying, but there is a
way to fix that:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Thunderbird

Essentially you want to have something like the following:

WatchedUnreadThreads("cmd_viewWatchedThreadsWithUnread") <shortcut>
UnreadThreads("cmd_viewThreadsWithUnread") <shortcut>
AllUnread("cmd_viewUnreadMsgs") <shortcut>
AllMsgs("cmd_viewAllMsgs") <shortcut>

As for customizing the toolbar, just right-click on it and select
"Customize". ???

HTH.
