|See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721316 for more info.

There are probably other things we can do to improve our gmail integration. For example, we could avoid notifying for multiple new messages just because a message has multiple tags. | |See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721316 for more info.

|Use Shane's extension as a starting point, figure out how to integrate it into Thunderbird. This feature allows the navigation through email attachments. Presented in a additional tab, it offers previews of supported email attachments. It allows full view of the attachment by launching the appropriate registered application or can switch to the email in the email view. Filters allow to the display of attachments of a given type, individual or all folders view. Initially, pictures, PDFs, HTML docs, YouTube/DailyMotion videos should be supported. Other attachments types could be added in core or via plugin. | |Use Shane's extension as a starting point, figure out how to integrate it into Thunderbird.
