I find that I frequently need to open a bug report whose bug number is in a python-dev email I read with Mozilla Thunderbird.
I now tried to automate things a bit more, and found the excellent DictionarySearch plugin:
http://dictionarysearch.mozdev.org/index.html
To install, follow these steps: 1. Download the plugin (for Thunderbird, make sure to download to disk) http://dictionarysearch.mozdev.org/download.php/http://downloads.mozdev.org/dictionarysearch/dictionarysearch_0.8.xpi
2. In Thunderbird, open Tools/Extensions/Install, select the file downloaded
3. Open Tools/Extensions again, double-click DictionarySearch.
4. In "Dictionary 1", fill in Text: Python Bug $ Access Key: y (as P will conflict with Print) URL: http://www.python.org/sf/$
To use the plugin, select a bug report number in a message, select the context menu, and type y (or click the Python Bug menu entry).
Regards, Martin
P.S. In case you wonder why this plugin is DictionarySearch: it is meant to lookup words in an email in a dictionary, e.g. Wikipedia. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
