Comment 5 for bug 594215

I've linked a branch with the Thunderbird plugin in it to the bug. It resolves many of the issues that the initial version of the extension had. Events are now only added to Zeitgeist for email inboxes (so you don't get multiple instances of the same event being added to Zeitgeist anymore). The problem that tricote had with character encoding details appearing in the event should be resolved as well.

I've also changed the file that the extension links to, both for Thunderbird and Firefox, from libzeitgeist-1.0.so to libzeitgeist-1.0.so.1. The latter file is added to the user's system by libzeitgeist-1.0-1, while the former is only added by libzeitgeist-dev. So using the latter means the user does not have to have the dev package installed for the extension to work.

The extension has a logging option as well. In Thunderbird, go to Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced --> General --> Config Editor and search for extensions.zeitgeist.log. Double clicking this will change its value from false to true. Now event details will appear in Thunderbird's error console under Messages (Tools --> Error Console) as they are added to zeitgeist.
