Version 0.4
Today I made an interim release of version 0.4. This was mainly done because of a small error with the Forward button menu, which was positioned in the wrong place in Thunderbird 3.0. Because of this error, it was very easy to choose the wrong forward action... Last night the first build for release candidate TB3.0b1 was released, so I figured now would be a good time to finally fix this problem. I had been planning on fixing this along with some added functionality, but with TB3.0b1 coming soon, I didn't want to wait for people really running into problems because of my extension. I don't think it's any fun getting bug reports or people disabling my extension. So, there it is, a brand new version of the Forward extension. I had to go through a lot of problems to get the information about the extension available in Thunderbird's Add-ons update information. Now I keep getting an invalid hash for the xpi, although it verifies alright with McCoy. I hope this is just a temporary glitch coming from a proxy/mirror.
Postscript
The second build of TB3.0b1rc was released on december 4. This version includes some bug fixes. On december 9 the official Thunderbird 3.0b1 was released. It can be downloaded here from the ftp server or from Mozilla Messaging website under early releases.

Re: Version 0.4
After a lot of trial and error I found what was causing the invalid file hash error message: It was an invalid file hash.
I thought McCoy calculated the file hash for me, but according to MDC, I needed another program to calculate the checksum for me. Since it was a year and a half ago that I downloaded and used that program, I had completely forgotten about it.
That command gave me the right update hash to insert in the update.rdf, and after signing it with McCoy and uploading it to mozdev, I finally got my update working.
