Thanks go to Daniel Dalton for some ideas I got from scripts he wrote
for an earlier version of Thunderbird.  I developed these scripts for
the new Thunderbird 3.0.  I welcome feedback and suggestions for
improving them.
The scripts are available either as a zip archive at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/tb_scr.zip

or as an executable installer at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/tb_scr.exe

Current documentation is below.

Introduction

These scripts are for Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0, which is freely available
from
http://GetThunderbird.com

The scripts have hotkeys that correspond to two modes of operation:
virtual mode and general mode.  Virtual mode is when the virtual PC
cursor is active for reading an open mail message.  General mode is the
rest of the time.
