In WinXP with TB 3.1 have located the file messenger.jar, but do not understand step 2, how to extract the mail widget. Hopefully someone can give me a clue. (FYI the extension from Matthew no longer works with this version of TB.)

From MC: Installed this nifty extension and it's great. Except would like to see all addresses displayed. Tried "-1" and no addresses appeared! Then deleted all lines with "singleline" but no change. Would appreciate a bit of advice as to how to accomplish.

(Prior had tried editing TB by opening the .xml file as vinay-srini advises but could not, even if changed the name to .zip. -- using WinXP with WinZip)

Aha - great, thanks!
I'll try again, then. Must've made something wrong last time (all the previous re-hacks after each update worked fine...).

The extension worked for me in 3.0.4.

The extension worked for me in 3.0.4.

I can confirm the hack still works in 3.0.4.

The addon does not work anymore, but the hack certainly does work on 3.0.3pre. I hope they did not change something drastic!

2010-03-30T13:44:23.898-07:00

With the latest TB update (3.0.4) neither the hack, nor the addon, seems to work anymore. Back to square one again... *sigh*

Anyone got ideas for how to make this quick fix work in 3.0.4?

For those who don't like to manually hack Thunderbird, I've put together an extension called "Show More Recipients" that basically follows these instructions:

See http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/96304

Herbert, look here: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.thunderbird/browse_thread/thread/bbfe2acae6f21473/da9dfa2da19a1d19?lnk=raot

And um, with any update all the changes we make are gone so that sucks. Idiots, the people who made it.

Could someone please file a bug and get this fixed? Please.

Great, thanks, but got into a muddle when I tried to implement Luca's suggestions.

-1 seems undesirable, as pointed out by Jim, and removing all lines that have the "singleline" word in them got me into quite a mess.

I ended up with using 4 as parameter, which is fine, but I would still be interested in how to display all recipient addresses in multi-line format.

Best, Herbert

Nice one! It's been bugging me for a while!

2010-02-23T11:21:47.673-08:00

NB. A couple tweaks:
* Replace with "-1", instead of the suggested "10", to display unlimited addresses.
* Also, delete from the same file all lines that have the "singleline" word in them. This way you get a multi-line address listing (otherwise, the addresses would be forced on the same line and long list won't be displayed properly).
Again, thanks for the hints!
Best, Luca
