Hi all,
I would like to create and distribute a customized Thunderbird version,
if possible based on a portable version of thunderbird. All changes can
be done by creating a custom profile. What is the best/easiest way to
do this without violating mozilla trademarks or other rights?
Specifically, I would like to include a custom theme, some pre-set
account settings for a specific nntp server, and preinstalled
extensions. Is it OK just to install a portable thunderbird, set up the
profile, pack the directory containing all binaries and profile data up
and distribute that? I want updates to work so I would like to avoid
creating a completely custom product like icedove.

I would like to make it as user-friendly as possible, i.e. installing
by a single installer.

Sincerely
Jan
