Fortune Cookies?

[teknowledgist]

Thank you so much for rewriting Signature Switch for the new Thunderbird!

I see that you mention the ability to use fortune cookie files (like with the legacy SS), but I can't figure out how to do that. Is that feature still being developed/rewritten, or am I just missing the obvious?

Thanks.

I haven't ported this feature yet. I'm also not quite sure how many people actually used fortune cookies in Signature Switch. So... everybody... please upvote this issue if I should prioritize working on this.

Yes please, re-add support for fortune cookies.
Thanks for your great work.

Emphatic upvote for this one.

I rely on a signature dynamically generated by an external script, which inserts a unique URL based on the recipients' address.

Thanks a lot for rewriting, i used SS for years ago and i hope you can add the fortunes cookies files asap. I really need that ;-)

Implemented. ✔️
Beta-release available here: dev-builds

[emja]

Thanks. Installed. I see you've implemented an internal 'fortune cookie' function (which I don't use, so didn't test), however this version lacks the ability to read from an external file or to use the output of an external script (as older versions did). Is this a limitation in the new TB framework, or are you intending to re-implement that?

cheers!

Fortune cookie feature installed. It works fine ! This addon is great . Thanks for your work.

Thank you for putting the time in to add this critical feature. That said, can you add a toggle to it to remove the signature? Currently, choosing the signature again adds a second, third, etc. one.

@emja Signature Switch is a pure MailExtension now. So... access to files is limited. However, you can still import fc-files using the UI.

Closing this issue, since Fortune Cookie support is now available with version 2.1.0.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that?!

[teknowledgist]

In the earlier version, clicking on the icon would toggle the signature on and off. IOW, add or remove the (default?) signature from the draft message.

In my brief test, the current version just adds another quote below the first.

Also, choosing the particular signature would "refresh" the fortune cookie. That allowed me to bypass pithy signatures that might get me in trouble with certain recipients. This version does re-select a random cookie, but tacks it below the previous signature.

Neither is a major problem, just anno... less efficient. ;-)

Yep.
That's how it should work.
I haven't seen any issues with this so far. (No reports either... other than you. g)
Please let me know if you can still reproduce this.

Well... if it is like you described... then we definitely have a bug 🪲 ... which should be squashed. 😄
Don't hesitate to contact me (via email).

Working as expected, THANKS A LOT!
