Edit As New

Edit As New is a small-sized plugin designed for Mozilla Thunderbird, which implements options to edit existing emails as new ones. Its possible to quickly resend duplicate messages to the same receiver or other persons using this method. The alternative is creating a new email and copying the body, subject and receiver, as well as reattaching files (if any), just to be able to duplicate the email.
Newer editions of Thunderbird have integrated this feature and can found by opening the right-click menu of any email in the inbox, outbox or other folders. However, the older versions lack this important option.
Edit As New can be seamlessly integrated into the email client. There is no setup pack involved, so users dont have to worry about going through a lengthy setup wizard. Instead, the extensions packed in an .xpi file that has to be copied to the plugins directory of Thunderbird.
Restarting the email client is necessary to finalize setup, if it was already launched before this step. From this point on, the new addon can be accessed from the toolbar ("As New..."), placed right between the "Write" and "Address Book" entries. It can also be found under the "Edit As New..." entry when attempting to open a message in a new window.System requirementsThunderbird 1.0 - 3.0a1
