1Thunderbird Standard Library
2============================

4The goal of this project is to provide a nice set of wrappers to get started
5quickly when developing a Thunderbird addon. The [initial
6thread](http://groups.google.com/group/tb-planning/browse_thread/thread/4409b6705497b2d0)
7on Google groups details the ideas.

9The following areas should be covered by this library:
10
11* sending a message, possibly in HTML,
12* doing various things with messages, including marking them as read, archiving
13  them, deleting them, getting the associated tags...
14* wrappers for commong address book actions, such as quickly saving an email
15  address in some address book,
16* various util functions: escaping text for HTML insertion, accessing the user's
17  identities...

19Gloda, `MailUtils.jsm`, `GlodaUtils.js` already provide useful functions. The
20goal is not to replace these, but rather to fill in the gaps. These functions
21are used by the "Thunderbird Conversations" and "Compose in a tab" extensions.
