Thunderbird Bug Lab

Stops thunderbird from reporting everything that has '@' and at least one '.' in it as a mailto link. For example S@Y...5PM should not be considered an email. The answer is to simply ignore anything with more than one consecutive '.' in it. See landfill bug #6024

 Description:    	 Opened: 2007-11-08 08:49

Thunderbird makes many things with a . and an @ (for example s@Y...5pm) into a
mailto link.

------- Comment #1 From pcallaghan 2007-11-08 09:10:49 -------

Created an attachment (id=799) [details]
stops anything with .. in it from being a mailto link

------- Comment #2 From Lukas Blakk 2007-11-08 10:11:22 -------

(From update of attachment 799 [details])
great patch, one line wonder.

Tabs Lab

opens new tabs adjacent to the current tab, rather than at the end all the current tabs. Still has problems with closing tabs. Sometimes they close, sometimes they don't. I thought it had something to do with line 1234.
