I have seen recommendations to use emacs-everywhere to get something like this going in more recent Thunderbirds. However, the recommended emacsclient command fails saying it can't find xdotool - which apparently is not available under Cygwin. So ... am I out of luck on this? Or can the technology be hooked up somehow? Or maybe somebody here know an esy (not many keystrokes / mouse actions) way to get stuff from Thunderbird, edit, and get it back into TBird? This is why I am still on Thunderbird 68.12 (!). Regards - Eliot Moss
