Thunderbird 78.4.0
 

Presumably after a recent upgrade the 'buttons' shown in a newsgroup
posting are shown in the following order

reply, followup, forward, delete, more

Previously I had configured "reply" out of the way so I didn't select it
and had "followup" as the first entry.

Now I don't seem to be able to re-order the buttons so that followup is
the first entry and reply is after delete.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thunderbird web help suggests with
toolbars clicking on a blank space and selecting configure. This works
with the main tool bar but not with the toolbar that appears in each
newsgroup posting

Is this of any use? I don't have 78.4.0 so can't check what it does.

The old way of editing toolbars no longer exists, but there's an add-on
that allows it (it's a bit basic but it does work)

"Message Header Toolbar Customize"

Thanks for that - now sorted with a minor bit of head scratching when
the names in the toolbar Customize window didn't match the button names :)

Apparently Thunderbird have changed the extension api.

For me it was QuoteCollapse that stopped working. I downgraded to 68 and
will wait until Thunderbird has stabilised before upgrading.


See following comment from quote collapse developer.

QC 2.0 used an intermediate API to make it work with TB6x. TB78 dropped
that API ("legacy webextension") while the new API ("mailextension")
lacks important features (such as content scripts for mail display
panes) which will not land before TB82. So for TB78-TB82, we have to use
yet another new intermediate API ("experimental API") knowing it might
be gone soon, too. I cannot promise for that new rewrite to appear soon,
unfortunately.

yes, I found this too.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled from an older version I'd saved the
*.exe for. And disabled automatic updates.

Using the "Message Header Toolbar Customize" from the link in a previous
post I have re-ordered the buttons.

I used the beta version dated 31 Oct from here
https://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/en/downloa...tml?msghdrcust

this page gives download and install instructions. I found problems
downloading with Firefox so used MS Edge (spit).

Once restarting Thunderbird the buttons with text had changed to default
icons. If you then right click on any of the buttons in the newsgroup
posting header a configuration screen will appear giving the option to
restore text rather than icons and gives the ability to re-order the
list. Note followup = smart reply in the customise list.

you don't need to dick around downloading directly from the website, it
installs easily using the standard thunderbird search from within
tools/add-ons/extensions

Of course you could just have downdated to the one which actually works or
learn the keyboard shortcuts, but in Tbird I find those totally illogical.

Thanks - that seems to have done the trick.
