1587108 - API to adjust the contents of emails in process

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1590121

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[musiquegraeme]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

I wrote an MailExtension Experiment which takes the current recipients of an email and expands any that are mailing lists in my address book. It's very simple using Recipients2CompFields(gCompose.compFields);
expandRecipients()
and CompFields2Recipients(gCompose.compFields);

Actual results:

It worked.

Expected results:

I would like to have something in the Compose API to do this even more simply, more reliably - that is after MailExtension Experiments are closed.

I think this is one of the special cases to be considered in Bug 1590121.

Did bug 1590121 solve your issue?

Yes, this can now be closed. I have updated my mail extension experiment to a mail extension using the onCompose API to do nearly all that I could do before. I added a feature request for the other thing which is adding other elements to the header.
