Customization

This extension allows the user to control the behavior. Edit the "prefs.js" file in your profile folder and add one or more of the following values:

mail.mailRoute.hideRoute

If set to true, the route flags are hidden. Because the route is most fun to see, I don't recommend that you deactivate it :-) Default is false.

mail.mailRoute.hideFrom

Hides the large From: country flag at the right side of the expanded header view. Default is false.

mail.mailRoute.routeIconSize

Set the width and height of the route flags in pixels, default is 24. (Only one number as the flag pictures are square)

mail.mailRoute.ownIconDir

Set the directory if your own country and domain icons. Examples would be file://localhost/data/grafik/ on Linux or file:///C:/icons/ on Windows. If this directory is set, each time the route is displayed, the directory is searched for .png files matching the domain name. For example, if the flag of the domain mail.server.example.com is requested, the following filenames are tried: mail.server.example.com.png, then server.example.com.png, after that example.com.png and at last com.png. If even that doesn't exist, the original icon shipped with mail route is used. Don't worry about performance, the results of the search is cached - if the file doesn't exist, it isn't requested a second time to save CPU cycles.

mail.mailRoute.cacheIcons

This is set to true by default, enabling caching of the file existance checks for the own icons. You want to disable it if you want to add own icons to the icons directory while having Thunderbird open for browsing the routes.
