Custom LDAP attributes in Thunderbird 1.1a1
A feature that I thought folks might be interested in landed not too long ago, and it's available in Thunderbird 1.1a: custom LDAP attributes for the addressbook. The ugly hard-coded list is gone, and attributes all come from preferences now. There is a global set of default preferences, which can be changed and can also be overridden on a per-server basis.
If anyone is interested in helping out by wiki-ing up some docs to help users (particularly sysadmins) use these prefs, that'd be fantastic. Bug 119291 contains the implementation discussion, and the final patch in that bug contains the new defaults, the new XPCOM interface, and the implementation.
