Shift-Box Thunderbird add-on version 0.3.2 released (originally from a CEAS'10 paper)

[Romain Vuillemot]

Dear Email Researchers,

We just released the 0.3.2 version of our Thunderbird Add-on. We
thought it may interest some of you, since the research behind it was
presented as a short paper at CEAS 2010 last summer in Seattle.

In a few words, the add-on adds stream controls (like on a classic
remote control with play, pause, next, previous, stop) as an overlay
of Thunderbird. When a user clicks pause, then all the email stream is
paused and the user can focus on his task with no further distraction.
Incoming emails are still notified, but with optional tiny iPhone-like
bubble icons on the controls. The user can also shift time and go back
to the past to replay email streams such as on a Tivo (while still
being notified of incoming emails..) to better understand
conversation, or just to reduce the number of email in a folder and to
better process them.

feedback we keep working very hard on it ;)
