New extension ThunderLinkPB based on ThunderLink for copying message URLs

[David Rees]

I've seriously modified/hacked the original ThunderLink extension so that it works with PostBox.

The main changes are:

• It actually can be loaded into PostBox :)
  
• The links use the protocol x-postbox-message which is inherently supported by PostBox
  
• The menu items are on the menubar under Tools rather than on the message. This is so I can assign keyboard shortcuts in OSX and also because message menus overlays don't seem to work in PostBox (I suspect because they gave it a different XUL id).
  
• You have two choices of what to copy to the clipboard
  
• Plain text with the message subject followed by its link
• A rich/HTML link with the message's subject as its text

You can download the XPI here - https://github.com/studgeek/thunderlinkpb/blob/master/thunderlinkPB-0.06pb1-pb.xpi?raw=true

You can view/update it on github here - https://github.com/studgeek/thunderlinkpb 

Enjoy!
