Verze 2.3.1 608.3 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 60.0 - 69.0

2.3.1 Maintenance version with important fixes for the new file templates feature.

Release video - showcases the new file templates feature: https://youtu.be/AWdZWB0_ym0

Improvements
  • 2.3.1 - Improved handling of non-working Stationery in Thunderbird 68. You can now jump straight into configuring file templates and "support stationery" will be automatically disabled if it cannot be run in the current Tb version.
  • [issue #8] Support File Templates - to replace Stationery from Thunderbird 68 forward.

    I have repeatedly reached out to the author of the excellent Stationery Add-on over the last 8 months, but unfortunately did not get any reply. I also attempted to patch it for Thunderbird68 but it is just too much work. (I estimate 2-3 man weeks)

    SmartTemplate⁴ still supports it, but it looks like it will stop working as soon as Thunderbird 68 lands in August / September 2019; therefore we need another solution to be able to use ad-hoc templates in the form of HTML files.

    The template management system will be tightly integrated into the familiar SmartTemplate⁴ settings interface, as a separate entry in the Accounts drop-down.
  • [v2.3.1] Fixed [issue 14]: If Lightning is not installed in Thunderbird 68, currently the new "file templates" function will not load the template, but may open 2 composer windows instead.
  • [v2.3.1] Fixed [issue 15]: file templates only work on an account if the box Apply following template is active.
  • [Bug 26689] New function to set E-mail priority

    Add a function to set the priority of the composed Email.

    Examples:

    %header.set(priority,highest)%
    %header.set(priority,high)%
    %header.set(priority,normal)%
    %header.set(priority,low)%
    %header.set(priority,lowest)%
Known Issues
  • You have to disable the option Global Settings»Global Settings»Advanced Functions»Support Stationery Add-on.
    I have raised issue 13 to handle this bug.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a problem with the Czech translation file that caused an error when trying to display the SmartTemplate Settings dialog.

Verze 2.2.2 567.7 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 60.0 - 68.*

Going Forward, SmartTemplate⁴ requires a license for continued use - the reason for this is that unlike compiled software that runs on operating systems, constant changes on the host mail software (Thunderbird) require constant, substantial, ongoing changes with high effort; something which cannot be provided for free ("as in beer") anymore. The days of simply hacking maximum version numbers to make an Add-on compatible with the next version of Thunderbird are over.

You may have noticed many Add-on authors abandoning their Add-ons on Firefox and Thunderbird because it was not possible for them to support their Add-ons anymore - this is directly caused by not involving users in funding the required work.
Improvements
  • Increased the trial period to 28 days. As adoption of the Standard License were decent I want to give more users a chance to test SmartTemplate&#8308 with the next version of Thunderbird.
  • On popular demand, I localized the license shop for Japanase, Russian, German, Polish, Italian, Spanish and Dutch users. Additional Domain Seats can now be purchased after the fact.
  • Removed License button animation in sliding notification for Linux and Mac systems as allegedly they cause performance issues on some systems. Fixed OS specific style paths so they work again.
  • 2.2.2: It is now possible to use the %dateformat()% function with the %X:=sent% modifier when replying to / forwarding emails.
  • [issue #3]

    Allow displaying leading zeroes for parts of %dateshort% and %datelocal%

    You can now modify the following settings in about:config

    extensions.smartTemplate4.dateformat.hour = "numeric"
    extensions.smartTemplate4.dateformat.day = "numeric"
    extensions.smartTemplate4.dateformat.month = "numeric"
    extensions.smartTemplate4.dateformat.year = "numeric"

    hour: change to "2-digit" for forcing 2digit hours in datelocal / dateshort
    day: change to "2-digit" for forcing 2digit day in datelocal / dateshort
    month: change to "2-digit" for forcing 2digit month (dateshort only)
    year: change to "2-digit" for forcing 2digit year (dateshort only)
  • Made sure settings dialog is not cropped by right hand edge of screen.
Bug Fixes
  • Wrote some backward fixes for Thunderbird 52. In the last version the file smartTemplate-overlay.js didn't load successfully because of importing XPCOMUtils.jsm in a non-backward compatible format. (ChromeUtils.import replaces Components.utils.import from Tb60 forward)
  • [issue #5] In 2.2.2 - finally fixed %timezone% to correctly calculate the offset time. Also added CEDT and MESZ.
  • [issue #4] Fixed locale problems. SmartTemplate⁴ due to a regression in 2.0 the current locale of the mail client cannot be correctly determined.

    The %language()% switch can now be used to force correct display of day / month names in the variables %A% %a% %B% %b% (and related %dateformat()% function) It will also force using the installed language pack for date formatting through the %datelocal% and %dateshort% function. If the language pack is missing or disabled, this will be indicated in JavaScript error console - not a potentially disruptive message box.
  • [Bug 26688] Multiple %matchTextFromBody% in a line yielded only a single result. This is now fixed also for %matchTextFromSubject%, so they can better be used multiple times in the same template.
  • Fixed status icon mode on Thunderbird 68 startup.

Changes 2.2

  • [issue #4] Fixed locale problems. SmartTemplate⁴ due to a regression in 2.0 the current locale of the mail client cannot be determind currectly.

Verze 2.1.1 565.4 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 60.0 - 68.*

Going Forward, SmartTemplate⁴ requires a license for continued use - the reason for this is that unlike compiled software that runs on operating systems, constant changes on the host mail software (Thunderbird) require constant, substantial, ongoing changes with high effort; something which cannot be provided for free ("as in beer") anymore. The days of simply hacking maximum version numbers to make an Add-on compatible with the next version of Thunderbird are over.

You may have noticed many Add-on authors abandoning their Add-ons on Firefox and Thunderbird because it was not possible for them to support their Add-ons anymore - this is directly caused by not involving users in funding the required work.

Improvements 2.1
  • [Bug 26536] Support using SmartTemplate⁴ variables in Thunderbird Templates (Tb 60).
  • [Bug 26629] Added a variable to set a specific time zone (e.g. GMT) for date/time variables. Use the new %X:=timezone(timezone)% switch to force displaying the time with a fixed time zone. For example: %X:=timezone(EST)% for inserting Eastern Standard Time in date functions such as %dateshort% or %dateformat()%
  • [Bug 26634] header.*.matchFrom* functions: append/prepend arbitrary text to field based on match.

    You can now use the matchFromSubject and matchFromBody functions in the following way:

    %header.set.matchFromBody(header,search pattern,"replacement text")%
    this is different from the already supported usage
    %header.set.matchFromBody(header,search pattern,match group)%
    The main difference is that match group is a number - which will insert / set / append the matched text found during the search, whereas replacement text is a text that is used instead if the search pattern is found. For usage simply add the double quotation marks around the 3rd parameter.
  • [Bug 26677] %header.set.matchFromBody() improvements for use with subject line. It is now possible to quote the first n characters of the quoted email like this:

    <tt>%header.set.matchFromBody(subject,"(\s*\S){1,75}",0)%</tt>
  • Added button for extending your SmartTemplate⁴ Pro License. This will now show up on the SmartTemplate⁴ Pro Tab 30 days before the current license expires. The web shop will give you an additional year based on the current expiry date for a smaller price (typically 20 %) than a new license. If the license is already expired, then the current date is used to calculate new expiry date, giving you also a full year.
  • SmartTemplate⁴ from now on will remember the last selected folder using the file picker when saving / loading templates.
  • Added a button for opening the Stationery configuration tab.
Bug Fixes 2.1
  • [Bug 26626] Edit As New duplicated email content unless Stationery is installed.
  • [Bug 26627] Signature was always removed when creating message from templates. With this fix, when creating a mail from a thunderbird template the signature will be treated according tothe rules set up in account settings composition section.
    To omit the signature, use %sig(none)%within the template.
    To determine a specific position other than specified in account settings, use %sig(html)%
  • Fixed: %attach()% command previously had a filter to only append HTML files.
  • [Bug 26628] Fixed: %dateshort% and %datelocal% left out time portion.
  • [Bug 26632] Using %dateformat% in reply / forward: deferred fields were not automatically tidied up.
  • [Bug 26635] Cursor not placed in "To:" Row when writing/forwarding email.
    Fix: SmartTemplate⁴ will now check when writing new emails if the "To:" address is already set. If not, the cursor will be placed into the address widget and %cursor% ignored.
  • [Bug 26636] Stationery broken with %sig(text)%. When using a Stationery template with the "Use instead of default quote header" option switched off, some of the template text may be accidentally deleted from the Email.
  • Improved matchTextFromBody: avoid scanning inserted quote header or anything outside of the replied to email.
Other 2.1

  • [Bug 26657] ESR 2019 Readiness - compatibility with Thunderbird 68

    Made SmartTemplate⁴ compatible with Thunderbird 68 - part of the ongoing effort to future proof SmartTemplate⁴ for 2020. This will also mean eventually making the minimum requirement using Thunderbird version 60.
  • Replaced prefwindows with dialogs. There are a lot of changes in the code to make storing preferences in Thunderbird's configuration database work again.
  • Use newer preferences script.
  • Replace groupbox caption elements with hbox + additional layout fixes.
  • Replace statusbar element with hbox (Tb65 and higher)
  • Use new promise-based AddonManager object.
  • Remove document.createElement in xul documents (replace with createXULElement until Mozilla decides to deprecate that too).
  • Improved loading script in composer to be more reliable.
  • Added mandatory Standard license.

Added in Maintenance Version 2.1.1

  • Added support tab for licensed users only.
  • Added the premium feature 'deferred variables in "Write" template' (such as %to%) to standard features. Important: this only works in HTML mode - plain text is not supported.
  • Improved panel sizing on Preferences dialog.
  • ESR - Eliminated deprecated getCharPref / setCharPref functions
  • Fixed regression caused by ESR work for Thunderbird 68 [Bug 26657], some account specific options (use HTML, replace BR) were greyed out when opening the dialog and had to be reactivated by enabling / disabling "Apply the following template". Use Common should always disable account specific settings for clarity.
  • Improvement: When opening settings for the current Id and "use common" is selected, display common settings instead.

  • Introduction video: https://youtu.be/zJu9tpa0cHY
  • [Bug 26340] New "unmodified field" option for %To()%, %CC()% and %From()%
    %from(initial)% New initial keyword to avoid any changes of header; just displays the header as received.
  • [Bug 26307] New switch for adding (subtracting) days from date fields:
    %X:=calculated(n)% where n = is the number of days to add. Note this needs to be reset using %X:=calculated(0)% to unapply it to the rest of the Email.
  • [Bug 26411] New: Expanded functions for manipulation of headers, based on Regular Expressions.
  • %header.set.matchFromSubject(hdr,regex,group)% Set the header if a matching regular expression is found in subject line.
  • %header.append.matchFromSubject(hdr,regex,group)% Append text to header / recipient if a matching regular expression is found in subject line.
  • %header.prefix.matchFromSubject(hdr,regex,group)% Prefix text to header if a matching regular expression is found in subject line.
  • %header.set.matchFromBody(hdr,regex,group)% Set the header if a matching regular expression is found in quoted email.
  • %header.append.matchFromBody(hdr,regex,group)% Append text to header / recipient if a matching regular expression is found in quoted email.
  • %header.prefix.matchFromBody(hdr,regex,group)% Prefix text to header if a matching regular expression is found in quoted email.
  • %header.delete(hdr,regex)% Remove matching regular expression from text.

hdr: One of the following list {subject | to | from | cc | bcc | reply-to}

regex: A regular expression within double quotes, e.g.
"You got an email from .* \((\b[a-zA-Z0-9._+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}\b)\)" -
Note that this function supports match groups.

group: The number of the match group, type 0 for inserting the match from the complete expression.

Notes: if no match is found the header will not be deleted or modified in any way. Therefore it is important to do a visual check on all fields before you send of your emails. No error messages will be issued when no match is found. Prefix and append will check whether the value already exist and avoid duplication. The prefix command should not be used with address fields, instead use append to add more recipients.

More information on regular expressions and examples can be found on the variables page.

Postbox

  • [Bug 26485] Make SmartTemplate⁴ compatible with the next Postbox build - 5.52 beta 6 (modern Gecko build) - as of beta 7, Postbox is following Mozilla Quantum in dropping 3rd party Addons support altogether:

    Postbox is based on Mozilla code, and as of Firefox Quantum, Mozilla has discontinued support for add-ons. As such, a decision has been made to remove add-ons functionality from Postbox at this time.

    Postbox's Signatures and Responses add-ons have been rolled into the core product. Cloud File Sharing and installable Dictionaries will be supported in future BETA releases.

    Add-ons from 3rd parties will no longer operate in Postbox, but we may opt to roll certain 3rd party add-on functionality into Postbox in the future.

Verze 1.4 387.3 KiB Podporuje SeaMonkey 2.14 - 2.49.*, Thunderbird 38.0 - 52.*

  • Added Postbox 5.0 compatibility
  • Fixed: mailto links are missing signature
  • Extended %matchTextFromBody( )% function

    %matchTextFromBody("Regular Expression",MatchGroup)% finds a pattern in the quoted Email and inserts it at function location. The first parameter must be the regular expression within double quotes. The second parameter is a number which denotes the "match group". Match groups are usually designated with round parentheses (). Use 0 to match the complete expression, 1 for the first group etc.
  • New %matchTextFromSubject( )% function
    Same as above, but searches the Subject line for the pattern. Parameters are also the same, first the pattern, second the match group number. See the variables page for a detailed explanation and examples.

    Improvements
  • [Bug 26043]
    Save Template / Load Template feature
    Save / load the current template to / from a file.
  • [Bug 25904] Functions to Modify Mail Headers: To, Cc, Bcc, Subject and Others%header.set(name,"value")% replaces the field of the Email.%header.append(name,"value")% appends text or recipient to the field of the Email.%header.prefix(name,"value")% prefixes text to the field of the Email.

    This currently supports the following headers: subject, to, from, cc, bcc, reply-to. For example, %header.prefix(subject,"[Project 1] ")% will turn the subject "Re: Support Request" into "[Project 1] Re: Support Request".

    The append function can also be used to add more additional recipients. In all cases, duplicates should be checked and avoided - please double check this is the case and report it to the bug if there are problems. The value has to be wrapped in " and doesn't currently support these characters: " , % used within.
  • Removed automatic suppression of "mailTo" links and added an Advanced Setting for re-activating it. Going forward, we recommend keeping this option off, as it may have some undesirable side-effects.
  • Miscellaneous
  • Postbox 4 compatibility. Raised minimum version for Thunderbird to 9.0.

Improvements

  • [Bug 25902] %from% and %to% fail if no argument is given. While addressing this bug I also revised the treatment of variables within the arguments so multiple elements can be added e.g. %from(firstname,lastname,mail)% This also helps when adding a list of multiple addresses (as multiple %from% statements are expanded individually which is unusable as list.
  • [Bug 26020]
    Added bracketMail() and bracketName() functions use within from() to() cc() etc. to "wrap" mail address with non-standard characters
    bracketMail(arg) - use within from() to() cc() etc. to "wrap" mail address with non-standard characters
    bracketName(arg) - same using "name portion"
    usage: bracketMail(startDel;endDel) startDel = characters before the mail portion
    endDel = characters after the mail portion
    e.g. bracketMail(";") unsupported characters are: ; , < > ( ) [ ]
    bracketMail() = <[email protected]>
    bracketMail(angle) = <[email protected]>
    bracketMail(round) = ([email protected])
    bracketMail(square) = [[email protected]]

  • [Bug 25871] Added %file()% - insert html, text or image from file (for customized signatures) use a local file path in order to insert a file from the computer you are sending from. You can also use it to insert an image file. To insert the correct file path / name, simply click on the %file% link in the "Variables" window.
    %file(fileName,encoding)% %file(fileName)%
    If the optional encoding parameter is omitted, we assume UTF-8 (recommended)
    %file(imageName,altText)% %file(imageName)%
    The optional altText is displayed at the recipient if the image cannot be displayed. It may not contain the characters ,)(><
  • Added Slovenian Locale - thanks to Klofutar for providing the translation!

• some visual improvements to the help file
****************************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTE: This and all previous Versions works only up to Thunderbird 12.*.*!
If u use Thunderbird 13.* please upgrade to 0.8.5.6!
****************************************************************

Verze 0.7.9 96.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 12.0a1

bug fixes:
• corrected incorrect file encodings on many locale files.
Incorrectly encoded errors.properties files caused ST4 to crash this has also been corrected.
misc:
• Versions Bump to 12.0a1

Verze 0.7.8 94.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 10.0a1

misc:
• paste an list of all variables and in which case they can be used to all help files.
• Smarttemplate4 no longer crashes when variables are used incorrectly; an error is logged to the Error Console.
new features:
• added a new variable %sig% to allow users to put their signature where it should be placed in the template. If %sig% is not defined in the template it will be placed in the default Thunderbird location (above reply or below reply based on TB settings). 'Include Signature on Reply/Forward" must be checked in Thunderbird options for the %sig% to work as expected.
• added a new option to variable %subject% to show the subject of the message being replied to/forwarded or the subject of the current message being composed
• %tz_name% variable has been added but it is system dependent and will have limited support. Some users will see abbreviated time zone names (EST, CDT) and some will see long names (Eastern Standard Time...) and some will not have any return depending on their operating system or the mailserver of the email being replied to.

Verze 0.7.7 58.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 10.0a1

bug fixes:
• where reply header was being put above the signature when signature is placed 'above the quote'.
• automatically add line break in message compose window
• %date_tz% variable was returning the local timezone instead of the senders timezone.
misc:
locale added
• sv-SE
Thanks to BabelZilla Team!
• Versions Bump to 10.0a1
change/bug fix:
• remove the 'automatically add two line breaks' that was added in 0.7.6. This affected many users and the correct way to add line breaks at the top of your message is to include them in your template.

Verze 0.7.6 54.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 8.0a1

bug fixes:
• Fixed issue if %datelocal% variable is used for new messages
• a lot of small fixes
misc:
• changes in locale pt-BR

Verze 0.7.5 54.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 8.0a1

bug fixes:
• Some users reported subject lines not being displayed correctly. Specifically there were line breaks causing the subject to span more than one line. This could also occur with other headers but subject was the only one reported.
• corrected issue where headers longer than 4096 were being truncated.
new feature:
• An option is added in settings called "Use OS date/time format instead of Thunderbird". Some users reported that SmartTemplate 4 was not using the custom date format they had set in their operating system. This will give everyone that option if they want to use it.
misc:
• updated all helpfiles 'added recent changes'
• implemented some coding changes suggested by the Mozilla AMO review team.

Verze 0.7.4 54.0 KiB Podporuje Thunderbird 1.5 - 8.0a1

changes:
• Originally the X:=sent switch would change all variables after it's use for the remainder of the template unless X:=today was used to switch them back. That behavior is now changed such that the X:=sent command only affects the line on which it is being used.
• %datelocal%, %dateshort%, %date_tz% are now affected by the X:=sent and X:=today variables.
bug fixes:
• fix CC line inner Brackets
