Thunderbird related news from the March 9th Mozilla Project Weekly Status meeting: Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 Beta this Wednesday Release in a week TBird 3.0b3 (Shredder) – Status: In Progress 3.0b3 and 3.0 planning continuing Lots of heads-down coding work Thunderbird traffic from mozilla.com has been redirected to mozillamessaging.com.
Erin contacted The Guru with the below question. I tried doing a Google Search and checking the mozillaZine forums without much luck so may be someone else here can give us some advice: Since we upgraded to Thunderbird version 2.0.0.19 it seems that not all HTML attachments are treated the same (when sent). Those with ^M are sent as “quoted-printable” text (results in a problem) and the same file without ^M is send encoded base64 (producing desired results). Is there a way to force Thunderbird to treat them all the same? Thanks.
