== Using thunderbird autoconfig ==
See: [[http://mit.edu/~thunderbird/www/maintainers/autoconfig.html]]
Create a customized text file named thunderbird.cfg and put it in the thunderbird executable folder:
'%programfiles%\mozilla thunderbird\thunderbird.cfg'
Edit %programfiles%\mozilla thunderbird\greprefs\all.js addding the following values:
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "thunderbird.cfg");
''Note: Byteshifting does not seem to be required with versions 1.5.* or 2.0.*''
You can add functionality to the prefs by including javascript within the file.
Example thunderbird.cfg with automatically assigned values from ldap.
