Non-official thunderbird addon for Taskwarrior. This addon adds a toolbar button to the message view window. Using this button lets you easily transform a mail message into a task for Taskwarrior.
After pressing the button, a dialog pops up to view and edit the data that is sent to Taskwarrior. The data is pre-defined as follows:
| Description | Tags | Due Date | Annotation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subject of the mail | Tag from entry field | Due date from entry field | Mail "To" Mail "From" Mail body text (first 2000 characters) |
All data can be edited before creating the task in Taskwarrior.
Attention
- When editing the Tag field, don't add the '+' as you would need to do on command line. It is added automatically.
- When editing the Due Date field, don't add the 'due:' keyword as you would need to do on command line. It is added automatically.
- For the Due Date use the pattern configured for your Taskwarrior installation. Taskwarriors default is "Y-M-D".
The addon uses Thunderbirds preferences to store some variables:
| Variable | Default value |
|---|---|
| extensions.taskwarrior.firstRun | true |
| extensions.taskwarrior.default-tag | "" |
| extensions.taskwarrior.binary | /usr/bin/task |
| extensions.taskwarrior.addAnnotations | false |
"default-tag" sets a pre-defined value for tags. This is usefull if you are using mainly the same tag when creating them from Thunderbird. Feel free to adjust the settings with the 'about:config' dialog of Thunderbird if needed.
- Adding multiple tags at once is not supported
