Well, seeing as that is all the extension does, I can see why you 
un-installed it.

Yeah. I was explicitly trying not to make it a general purpose 
aggregator. One thing I am considering is releasing a version that is 
just for ColdFusion, and one just for Flash (in addition to the 
Macromedia one).

I will also be adding support for installing the extension in 
Thunderbird (early next week).

If you know some Javascript, and can pick up some simple XUL / XML, 
then it would be pretty simple to add this to Thunderbird yourself.
