Re: Postbox w. Venkman -- Any help out there ??

Thanks Gijs,

Postbox has very much the same structure as TB but giving some 
additional feature which are only announced for TB3 (or with nightlies)
At the moment I have a working installation, some heavy hack and I'm 
looking for a better solution.

1. stored the {f13b157f-b174-47e7-a34d-4815ddfdfeb8} dir (from another 
installation) to
          
\Profiles\<postbox_profilename>\extensions\{f13b157f-b174-47e7-a34d-4815ddfdfeb8}

2. modifiered the 'chrome.manifest' to add an entry:
        overlay chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul        
chrome://venkman/content/venkman-overlay.xul      
application={[email protected]}

3.  because there is no UI point/menu after this "Installation" I had to 
modify the  'mailWindowOverlay.xul' to add a menu item under 'Tools' with
            <menuitem id="venkman" label="JS Debugger" 
oncommand="start_venkman();"/>
        and so it finds the script:
           <script type="application/x-javascript" 
src="chrome://venkman/content/venkman-overlay.js"/>

        Not very "normal", but it works ... for the moment ...

        Maybe I have to check how to add that to the
                <menupopup id="taskPopup"
        with some code which would be activated with startup.

Any further help ??
