Thunderbird and Jetpack

Resident wise smart guy Andrew Sutherland has been playing with an implementation of Jetpack in Thunderbird 3. (Jetpack is an experimental technology from Mozilla Labs that provides an API that simplifies and enhances Firefox extension development.) With help from Standard8 (who tweaked Thunderbird’s content policy), Andrew wrote a couple of Jetpack-based extensions for Thunderbird. He has a blog post up that describes his examples and shows his code. It also provides a link to the experimental Thunderbirdified Jetpack code and instructions on how to access Jetpack from within Thunderbird.

As much as Jetpack is experimental for Firefox, this is extra-experimental for Thunderbird. However, like the rest of the Mozilla family, we’re excited about what Jetpack will bring to Thunderbird.
