However, I could not get Thunderbird to compile. The error was related to a data type defined in the Windows 7 SDK, and was in a file i had not modified. So I began my quest to resolve it. | However, I could not get Thunderbird to compile. The error was related to a data type defined in the Windows 7 SDK, and was in a file i had not modified.

Fast forward six hours. Still not compiling and I'm pulling what's left of my hair out in frustration. I was talking to sid0 on irc though and he mentioned a useful bit of information. The console checked the SDK version on startup, so it had to be restarted if the version was changed. Which I did six hours ago. Sure enough, restarted the console and it worked. | Fast forward six hours. Still not compiling and I'm pulling what's left of my hair out in frustration.

So pretty much my whole Saturday was wasted on a something that took a total of 30 seconds to fix. But at least it is compiling now. Now I can write some tests and submit a patch so I can get back to working on my [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494137 original bug]. | So pretty much my whole Saturday was wasted on a something that took a total of 30 seconds to fix.

This week I am still working on bug 461669. | |||
First of all, I spent time studying some header definitions in the source of an email because I need to decide which “From” address to use when user clicks “reply to list” base on different headers shown in the email. As a result, making clear of where and what headers are added to the email is very important. These headers include “Delivered-To”, “Received… by… for”, “List-Post”, etc. | |||
Then, I tried out TB to reproduce the bug and found a problem that I am not sure which “From” address is supposed to use (from the perspective of user requirement). Currently I have to clues: | |||
1.used the account which the email is associated to regardless of headers in the email. | |||
2. try to read the headers and see whether can I decide which “From” address to use. | |||
Next week I am going to talk to Jens about this bug. | |||

This week, I continued work on [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79709 vCard imports]: | |||
* Added file dialog filters, completing the frontend work. | |||
* Wrote nsVCardAddress::ReadRecord(), nsVCardAddress::ProcessRecord(); these do the work of reading vCard objects from file and parsing them into nsAbCard objects respectively. | |||
* Implemented adding the newly created nsAbCards to the database - first end-to-end working version! | |||
