Kind of APA citation style to show resilience against thunderbird updates #67

What about leaving breadcrumbs in a format near to APA citation style, auto-generated by Thunderlink? So when links are broken by thunderbird updates we can change into this format. There could be 2 options, to generate usual links or to generate plain text in this format when problems arise.

Example: (Sender First Initial. Second Initial. Surname, personal communication, Month Day, Year) (K. Johnson, personal communication, March 25, 2010) https://guides.himmelfarb.gwu.edu/c.php?g=27779&p=170355

Or we could get it more complete:

Sender First Initial. Second Initial. Surname [sender mail adress]. (data and hour). Subject. [receiver mail adress]
