  • Modifying Thunderbird

    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/189.1 to All on Fri Feb 8 13:59:05 2019
    Hello everybody.

    Everytime a message is posted using Thunderbird, the line below is added to it:

    --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125

    This is fine, as it's the software identification. I was wondering if anyone ever tried to modify it to be able to fit into the screen and not split just like the one above...

    It *IS* truncated to 75 chars, so that it and "--- " will fit to 79
    chars. :)

    You can turn it off with "notearline" in your config.

    That option came to my mind, but that would affect other users.

    I was looking for a way to edit the Thunderbird config to make it smaller.

    Yes.

    Oh. You can add "general.useragent.override" into about:config.

    or jamnntpd could just not be truncating things to less than 80 characters/glyphs... especially in this day in time... stuff that's truncated or force-wrapped to less than 80 chars/glyphs looks right cruddy on a (eg) 226x61 terminal... golded has the same stupid problem with things like tag lines :?

    And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
    so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
    up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
    the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
    it off.

    I just removed the 75 chars limit in this server.

    Is this better? Naah..

    If I knew how "Logging in with parameters" works, I would have recommended that to Flavio. Since you are the resident guru, would you think that that might that have helped him?

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Yep! ;)

    But for most people the tearline will wrap. That's not nice.

    Hehehe! Guru, me? Naah...

    But seriously, I haven't given it much thought. I simply cannot see the problem. I think it's great that the tear line is used the way it should -- but that's Johan Billing for you, for decades always with FTN functionality in the driver's seat.
