Where on the page for SUMO should one click to submit a suggestion?
Such layout is really helpful if one uses wide screen - all necessary panels may be displayed next to each other and all necessary information from inbox panel are displayed.
== Show remote content in messages sent TO a specific recipient address ==
There is no way for "Show remote content" filter to always show remote content in messages SENT TO a specific RECIPIENT.  When using a forwarding address from Blur (formerly MaskMe) individual messages from a specific sender may arrive from a forwarding SENDER address unique to that specific message.  Only the RECIPENT'S forwarding address always remains the same, e.g. whatever@opayq.com  Problem:  I and many others are using Abine's Blur (formerly MaskMe), which generates temporary forwarding email addresses == What tile on the fly, to help block SPAM, if & when it starts to arrive.  When I use one of these addresses, I often see "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message." At present, the only filtering options offered by T-bird are: - Show remote content in this message support (only)- Edit remote content options...- Allow remote content for [sender]SUMO) - Allow remote content for <URI> However, none of these would work for showing any future content sent to my Blur address, because  - the address from which the message is sent is unique for each message - the remote content is not always from the same location  - I don't want to override T-bird's protection from unknown remote content altogether, and  - I don't want to have to elect to "Show remote content in this message" every time.  Because the messages are always sent to the same address, which is unique to the actual sender, I would like to be able to enable remote content for all messages sent TO a particular address, just as when I create a Message Filter in T-bird. In effect, this would function the same as whitelisting a particular sender, because each address is only given to one sender, unless & until they share it, of course. As soon as that happens, I block the address.  Possible suggested solution :  This change to the Options menu within each message would be quite useful:  - Show remote content in this message (only) - Edit remote content options... - Allow remote content for [sender])  - Allow remote content for <URI> NEW - Allow remote content sent to [Recipient address] ------------------------------------------------------However----------------------------------------------- Because "Allow remote content sent to [Recipient address]" might be accidentally used by someone to effectively allow ALL remote content in nearly ALL of the emails they receive, it might be better to allow wildcards (* &/or ??? etc.) when manually editing the list of exceptions from Tools:Options:Privacy:Mail Content.  This would enable more advanced users to create exceptions for *@opayq.com or FWD*@opayq.com or any other domain, as well as *.amazonaws.com, *.cloudfront.com/*.cloudfront.net, or *.akamai.com/*.akamai.net == Perhaps this needs to be changed == Recently added:  '''''THIS WIKI DOCUMENT IS NOT A SUITABLE LOCATION FOR USER REQUESTS AND FEEDBACK. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT HERE''''' Well, then, perhaps the following text needs to be changed at the top of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird == Thunderbird:Home =="Please do not edit this page unless you are on the Thunderbird team. Your '''feedback''' and comments are ''welcomed'' on the discussion page." FYI, the "discussion page" links to "THIS WIKI DOCUMENT". == * For help, to ask question or make submitting a suggestion please use Thunderbird Support (SUMO) ==
Please be more specific as to where feedback or suggestions are to be made at "Thunderbird Support (SUMO)".

All of those options appear to offer <big>'''sources'''</big> of information for a person trying to use T-bird or specific features thereof. At least, by the names listed, none seems to solicit information <big>'''from'''</big> a user <big>'''suggesting'''</big> an improvement to a feature or fix for a problem.  Having already checked there and finding no appropriate link for "feedback or suggestions", I found https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird, which, of course, appeared to welcome <big><big>'''''feedback'''''</big></big>'' on '''''<big><big>this page</big></big>''''' in so many words:
At least, by the names listed, none seems to solicit information <big>'''from'''</big>a user <big>"Your feedback and comments are welcomed on the discussion page." (i.e., this page)'''suggesting'''</big></big>'''an improvement to a feature or fix for a problem.
The problem addressed in 2.13 above didn't seem to qualify as a "bug", but since everywhere else seems to discourage "feedback and suggestions" of this type, I have also created Bug 1187036. If I get a response someone would respond to the above request for a more specific place within SUMO to make that a suggestion, I would be more than happy to follow that advice.
