#18 Combine Forward and Redirect buttons
Redirect can show it own button in the toolbar above each message (in the message pane and message tab). It takes up valuable space. For me it would make a lot of sense to combine it with the Forward button making this a drop-down button with a forward and a redirect item.
Maybe it can even become compatible with IdentityChooser??
Hi u/sph,
Can you try attached version if it does what you want?

Hi Onno,
Thanks. At first, I could not find the new item in the "Forward" button, where I was expecting it. After reading the configuration option I replaced the "Forward" button with the "Forward As" in the message pane and voilà, here it was.
I have to say, adding the "Redirect" item to "Forward As" makes more sense in a logical sense. I also like that it's configurable and there is still the "Redirect" button available for those who want a dedicated button.
The only drawback now is, that I have to decide if I want to forward an email as inline or as attachment (whereas with the old "Forward" button to decision was required in case of forwarding). But at least, now it requires a conscious decision and that is a good thing! ;-)
Thanks!! I believe this is a good step forward and certainly improves the add-on for me!
Thanks.
The only drawback of hiding the redirect menuitems I found is, that when you have selected multiple messages, the Forward As menu is hidden also, so you are left with no Redirect menuitem.
Maybe I'll find a way to fix that, but it's not a big thing I think...
You are right. I don't understand why all the buttons but the Delete button are hidden when selecting multiple messages. I use the Junk button quite often but have to revert to the keyboard shortcut when selecting multiple messages. I believe this is more a Thunderbird bug.
Maybe an additional add-on which shows these buttons when multiple messages are selected?
