- Small change in release plan. I am releasing the completed addon using ImageMagick's "convert.exe" in 0.3 version. The
0.4 version will be utilizing the new code that Mozilla has incorporated into Thunderbird.
5/Dec/2008<br />
- So I am able to package a static build version of ImageMagick's "convert.exe" along with my Addon. Just when I was ready to
release this important update, the beta version of Thunderbird 3 has included Mozilla's image resizing code. With this I am now
aiming to use that to have a much cleaner addon for image resizing.

- I am trying to use the nsIProcess to use a Open Source command line
program called [http://www.imagemagick.org ImageMagick]. When successful
it can resize the other formats that are only detected right now.

0.2 released:
- The addon can now detect the following file formats: JPEG PNG JPG DPX EXR GIF SVG TIFF BMP
- The JPEG and JPG attachments issue is fixed and works well for resizing them.
- Other formats are detected but cannot be resized in this release.
8/Nov/2008<br/>
0.2 expectations:
- I would like to now add the ability to detect all of the major picture formats as currently it only triggers on JPEG formats.
- Fix the javascript errors in 0.1.
5/Nov/2008
Finalizing the 0.2 release features.
18/Oct/2008
Released the 0.1 version. Although not the latest version I have, this is the one that works, the changes after this have
caused some java script error which I am in the process of fixing.
15/Oct/2008
Compiling the extension to upload the 0.1 release. Some javascript errors are popping. I think it is due to the CR/LF problem.
13/Oct/2008
Modified the 0.1 deliverable based on current status.
5/Oct/08
Added some more links. Found that Thunderbird allows you to customize the size of the embedded image, they have a dialog for it.
It is in the file -> mozilla/ editor/ ui/ dialogs/ content/ EdImageOverlay.js
This is BIG boost to my search and looks like will make things much easier. 0.1 release now seems closer.
1/Oct/08
Added some links to Mozila Bugs related to my project and other important links

So I was finally able to add my simple extension into Thunderbird. Now to study how to get the

20/Sep/08 -
First step is to make a simple extension in Thunderbird, unfortunately was not able to do so
successfully on the first run. Still poking at it.
