Bugmail Thunderbird extension

[Fabrice Desre]

Hello all,

I just wanted to annouce a Thunderbird extension that helps reading
bug mail and supports Trac :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/9584.

It adds a small panel to headers showing the current status of the
bug, using the csv export.

Enjoy !

Cool! Now if only there were a way to get my users to use Thunderbird -_-

This looks very useful, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to work with
trac instances that require authentication in order to view tickets. Are
there plans to add support for that?

Thanks!

Wfm - trac 0.10.3 (I know...) w/ authentication. Thunderbird asks for
username/password.

Probably pointing out the obvious, but it won't work for forms authentication (you are using Basic, I assume).

Yeah, and we are using forms authentication...

As a side issue, it doesn't show anything for my launchpad bug emails
either, even though the header does appear and it says it is retrieving
bug details. Clicking Update has no effect.

I took a look through the plugin source. If I can find some code to read the cookies stored by Thunderbird, it can be made to work pretty easily. The cookie in question is trac_form_token, which then needs to be submitted as _FORM_TOKEN in the POST.

Hi all,

It would be helpful it you can send me the mails that fail with the extension.

For the cookie stuff, this should be doable. How can I test this with myself ?

Thanks for your feedback,

Fabrice

Attached is the rather hackish approach I was taking before I ran out of time. It includes an attempt to get the cookie, although that part is not debugged yet...

cool, couldn't this utilize xmlrpc though? Just a thought. I have
never writing a plugin for anything so...
