Sensitivity Header v0.3 is incompatible with Thunderbird 78.* #5

Respected @BobSoft3000, could this addon will be made compatible to new version 78.* (32/64-bit)

Since version 78.* Thunderbird uses new MailExtensions format, legacy extensions are no longer supported, most of released version before late 2020 becomes dead with newer version.

Here is how the New MailExtensions format looks like

Hence I request you to do needful with upgrading in newer version of Thunderbird 78.*

Thanks

Hi @nishanth6. Thanks for reporting this issue.

The change to MailExtensions may involve completely re-writing this addon and when I looked into the issue earlier, much of the developer documentation was either out-of-date or incomplete.

Additionally, I have had some personal/real-life issues in the past year and have had to change my priorities a lot. As such, I have not been able to keep up with the MailExtension changes and maintenance on this addon.

I will keep this issue open for now, but as I’m not sure when I’ll be able to work on this, I will also add the ‘help wanted’ tag. If anyone else reading can assist with coding this change to MailExtensions, please post here so I can integrate it into my addon, or feel free to create a fork of the addon and publish it independently.
