ISTR a workround for adding Leetkey to Thunderbird 17 was sent to the list. Am I dreaming?
If my memory is correct I can rootle through everything I have saved from ALUG on the old Eee.
Dreaming! (at least I think so!). I've just searched my ALUG archive in TBird, not complete, but goes back to 2009, and I see only 8 messages about with "leet" in them, most in a thread saying what Leetkey is, and the rest saying that Leetkey won't work in TBird 3!
Well, not dreaming, but unforgettory not working properly - Nev reminds me that the gen appeared in The Shed, and has kindly sent me a file which does the job.
If I am wrong, what is the last version in which Leetkey works? If I go onto the Mozilla website and install it, will it replace Mozilla 17, or install another one beside it?
If you install Thunderbird again, it'll probably replace the existing version unless you do something to prevent that happening (I don't know what though!)
I must say I dislike the current offering of Thunderbird.

OK. Download Leetkey plugin. Open it with an archive program. Extract install.rdf, then edit it. Look for the thunderbird section. look for something like max version 3.2pre. Replace this with 18.0 (or 19 or 20, whatever, bigger than your thunderbird version). Save it, put it back in the archive. Now install it in thunderbird. The Leetkey typing above was done using the plugin. I don't know if it will work fully. If you follow the above, basically you've adjusted the max version that it will refuse to install in. No guarantee that it will actually work properly though.
Good luck!
Thanks - saved for archives.
