Feature Request: insert prefix field from address book

[evanhorn]

I am interested in obtaining the prefix field from the address book so that I can automatically properly address my email. In other words, I would like to specify Mr., Ms., Dr., etc., in the address book, then be able to have SmartTemplates generate, e.g, Mr. Smith or Ms. Smith or Dr. Smith.

Also, while I don't have an immediate need for the suffix at this point, I could envision a time when it could be useful.

I am currently adding this to an "other" field, but it would be nice to be able to use the appropriate field in the address book.

Thanks!

I will look into it. Ajso need to check what CardBook does with (how it stores) this field. In the meantime, there are 2 test template with the most important address book fields below.

Address-Book-tests.zip

Note that using %from% is not as good as %recipient% as "from" changes perspective depending on whether you write a new mail or reply.

I think this is only supported in Cardbook, is this correct? I cannot see it in the normal Address Book editor in Thunderbird 115...

I found it in the new Tb 115 interface, by clicking the + buttons

I made a test version that manages the standard AB and also Cardbook, using the address fields prefix and suffix. Some code to test with:

Prefix / suffix: %recipient(addressbook,prefix,nickname,suffix)%<br>

smartTemplate-fx-4.4pre22.zip

To test the version above, download the zip file and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager without extracting contents.
