Adding custom headers in Thunderbird

   Brian Bilbrey ([68]bilbrey from orbdesigns.com)
   Answered By Jimmy O'Regan, Ben Okopnik

   I'd whined several times about lack of success in setting an X-gazette-tag
   header in Mozilla Thunderbird. The answer lies in the user.js file, every
   one of the tens of Google hits I tracked down promised me. But I'd do each
   one as specified, and no joy in Mudville. 

   Tonight,  I googled again, and about 6 links into the process, I found
   something close to the answer via a link from about.com. In my user.js file
   (found in my setup at ~/.thunderbird/*default/user.js) I put in these two
   lines: 
// insert X-gazette-tag header
user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "X-gazette-tag");

     [Ben]  This  works  in  Mozilla as well, although the file there is
     "prefs.js". Searching the Web for the above header confirms that you
     cannot set a default value for the header...

     [Jimmy] No, there's a user.js as well. That's what I'm using, and it
     worked last time.

     [Ben] Odd. My version doesn't have one - I searched with "find".

   if user.js doesn't exist, put it in the same directory as prefs.js. Moz* is
   in charge of prefs.js and may/will overwrite any changes in that file.
   Additionally, order of loading has user.js last, and settings in user.js
   will override prefs.js settings. 

     [Ben] Ah - I didn't realize that.

   Note that this does not automatically create the header in every message,
   nor apparently is there a way to set a default value for the header (which
   would make the first part a lie, eh?) 

     [Ben] ...however, you can add a plugin that will allow you to do that and
     a lot more header-related stuff - which reputedly works for Mozilla and
     Thunderbird:

   That was ONE of the things I tried that didn't meet my needs. It turns out
   that it does a lot of header VIEW customization, but not new composition
   headers, from about two hours of playing with it, trying to get to the
   point I wanted. 

     [Ben] Hmph. Might be worth tossing into Bugzilla as a wishlist item; seems
     like it's something a lot of folks could use, given how much discussion
     there is about it on the Web.

   But when I'm sending to TAG, I can select from "To:", "Cc:" "Bcc:" ...
   "X-gazette-tag", and add a value for that header. This is the first test,
   let's see if it works. 

     [Jimmy] And indeed it does. Probably works in Mozilla Mail too.

Cygwin from a CD

   Jimmy O'Regan ([73]The LG Answer Gang)

   I tried running cygwin from a CD, and it mostly works (X doesn't, but Perl,
   Python and most of the usual tools do). The only thing that needs to be done
   is that a few entries need to be added to the registry (these can be safely
   deleted when done), because Cygwin doesn't have an /etc/fstab.

   This file should be put on the CD. To add the entries, just double click!

                      See attached [74]cyg-cd.reg.txt

Gentoo tip: CUPS printing error

   Mike Orr ([75]LG Contributing Editor)

   If your CUPS printing suddenly stops working with the error:

lp: error - scheduler not responding!

   try deleting the printer in the web interface and re-adding it. According to
   Gentoo  forum posts, glibc had an unexpected API change and that broke
   Gentoo's configuration. You probably installed some unrelated software that
   upgraded glibc. You may have to re-emerge glibc, cupsd, and turboprint, but
   I didn't.
