We've shipped Betterbird 140.9.0esr-bb20 today. Please refer to the Release Notes for full details.
Here are three important new features and changes:
We improved the "delayed sending" capability by making sure that a message which is scheduled for sending is in fact not sent once it's opened for further edits with "edit as new message".
Betterbird/Thunderbird allows to convert an e-mail message to a calendar event or task. The original message is linked to the event/task. However, that link wasn't reliably displayed. That was fixed and we added a button Open in Folder (see screenshot) that allows to go back to the original message.
Lastly, localised versions, like the German version, no longer include the standard Mozilla English US dictionary. We had users who expressed that they wanted to remove the dictionary, which wasn't possible. Also, it allows more flexibility in choosing an English dictionary. Here are some choices:
- The stock-standard Mozilla dictionary, which is rather basic.
- The English US dictionary maintained by Marco Pinto.
- The British English dictionary maintained by Marco Pinto which is the better choice for European use.
