This is the home of the Quickreply project.

This extension adds a small edit box and a button above or below the email message text in the main Thunderbird interface or message window. If you type some text in the QuickReply box and then click the 'Send Reply' button, a reply is sent to the writer of the currently selected email with the typed text in the body.

Quick Reply will work on any TB versions newer than 20040322, including TB 1.0)

Quick Reply version 0.5.5a is released!
