Will it be possible to get this Dictionary working with version 3.1.1.
Thunderbird is a great product and this dictionary would be helpful. The American dictionary works really well.

Didn't realise code snippets weren't to be posted, and they were stripped from my last post. Basically, look for the maxVersion sections in the extension's install.rdf file, and change them to match the version of the application you are using. If you add .* (i.e. for Thunderbird 3.1, write it as 3.1.*) to the end, you shouldn't have to edit the extinction file again when minor updates are released.

This extension / dictionary has not been updated for a long time (early 2008), and as such, is not compatible with Thunderbird 3.1, nor is is compatible with Firefox later than version 3.0b1. This can be fixed by changing the maxVersion lines in the install.rdf file. As the dictionary file format doesn't seem to have changed recently, it's just a limitation of the use of an extension to easily install the dictionary.

Look for a line like the following under the product name you're wanting to use it with (Firefox, Thunderbird, Chatzilla, etc).
3.0b2

Change it to the version you're using (in my case, Thunderbird 3.1, and I put the .* in so I don't have to edit the file again for minor updates to Thunderbird

3.1.*

If you're unfamiliar with the process of editing xpi files... they're just like zip files... you just need to extract all the files, edit the install.rdf file, and then re-zip up the files and rename it so it ends with .xpi

Love it, thank you very much, and I like to see you have reasonable rates for idiots. I think you should up that to $150 per second

Oh Dear, Nicholas. "compadible"? Mater, you desperately do need this spell checker.
To Cameron - any chance of an Aussie or British dictionary in the Search Tools, mate? All the ones I see are US-based, including Free-Online Dictionary, Merriam Webster, Reference.com, Dictionary.com. I'd give my left nut for Macquarie Firefox Search Tool

If it doesn't work then try using the (US) English dictionary v4.0 this works fine for me and suggest you use that add-on until an updated version is available for TB3.

Sorry if this sounds like a bug report but I couldn't find a better way and this may help someone. This didn't work with the most recent Thunderbird (it reports v3.0). Had to diddle the "install.rdf" from "3.0a1" to just "3.0" and it seems to work OK. Otherwise just what I wanted; many thanks to the developer.
