htmlthunderbird
I am writing an e-mail in Thunderbird, formatting it with bold, italic, bullets, etc. When I am finished, I would like to copy the HTML to my blog.
I tried the Edit HTML Source Add-On but it "is not compatible with Thunderbird 3.1.10".
How else can I view the HTML source of an e-mail I'm writing in Thunderbird?
Thanks baraboom, that's it, actually you can just CTRL-S to save then go to Drafts and view source:
For each of the accounts, you can zip up the related profile folders to send over and have them set up with the data on their machine.
To find out where the accounts are storing the information, go to:
Tools > Account Settings
Then select the Server Settings pane of an account.
Look at the folder path stored in the Local directory. (If you can't see it all, click browse and a pop up will show you the path of where the folder is.)
Then, follow the path to the folder on your system.
The parent will have the following default child folders:
- Drafts.sbd
- Inbox.sbd
- Sent.sbd
- Templates.sbd
Zip it up with your compression/archive tool of choice and email it to the person.
They then extract the folder to a location of their choice or into a similar path as outlined in an earlier step. (Server Settings > Local directory)
They will need to restart Thunderbird for the account manager to remap to the folder.
When setting up Thunderbird, the default Local directory store path is a long chain of folders to where the profile is stored. By setting the folder of choice in the Local directory you can cut that down and even store the information on a different partition or disk.
The above instructions and screenshot are from a Windows XP install of Thunderbird. There might be slight difference on other systems, but the instructions will hold.
You just need to copy the full profile between both instances, then select the profile you want to use with:
thunderbird -P [profile]
if you omit "profile" the graphical profile manager will ask you which profile you want to choose.
If you just want to overwrite one profile with the other, just remove the one you don't need.
Chech the following link to locate where are your profiles; you haven't said which OS are you using:

You can send yourself a copy of it and then view the raw message using either the menu option
View→View Sourceor the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + U.
