Talk:Thunderbird2:Tags

You might want to take a look at this thread. It's the place to get the HeaderTools extension which I and many more use to add tags to our POP-mail untill 2.0 comes along. --Audunmb 11:33, 21 May 2006 (PDT)

Would'nt it be cool to try to extract tags from RSS and ATOM feeds. Maybe an idea for an extension. I know tags are not in the feeds, but maybe by parsing the post to find microformats and so on... --Clochix 08.01.2006 10:10

It would be great to have a separate pop-up tag panel for click-choose type of selection akin to taglocity. The rendering of the tags in the panel can then be customised, and can adopt larger display for much used tags, or selective coloring depending on already selected tags (where tags are related) - similar to some delicious extensions. In addition, it would be great to be able to set tags on outgoing messages, and automatically asign tags to an incoming message that is part of a thread where messages of that thread are already tagged. --Sbrcerevic 05:26, 2 August 2006 (PDT)

I agree with User:Sbrceveric's comments. I have just tried 2.0a1, and I found the tagging to not be very usuable. I see the following issues:

1. It should be easier to add multiple tags, as it is on Flickr or Del.icio.us. 2. The select-tag-by-menu approach won't scale well for users who like to have hundreds of tags, not just a few. Although I haven't used it, the taglocity reference about did seeem like a more usable implementation, based on the screenshot.

Only today I started looking for something that would properly tag my messages and found 'Tag the Bird'. Wrote the writer and realised that there is no relation to the T2 tagging project. Unfortunately while the tagging methods are similar, they use different x-fields so I might have to do over my tags in T2.--Klymax 15:38, 7 September 2006 (PDT)
