0.4.1pre3 ... "Release early. Release often. ...

And ... listen to your customers. " Sun Keith had a good point in telling me that version 0.4.1pre2 destroys the header view. Yes, I managed to read all headers without any other extension in 0.4.1pre2 but, ignored existing (already showed) mail headers. Cause the new extension adds headers to the header view and hides them, so where existing header hidden.
Well, this one repaired and the now released pre-version 0.4.1pre3 should solve the problem. Thanks Keith (and all the others) for testing and reporting.
Hi,
yes, now I'm out of the game. I do not play around with headers displayed, not my fault it is how it
But maybe it is related to any other extension or mnenhy, as far as I understood your comment it does not happen this way at my TB2.0rc1.

Rene,
All my attempts to update here are being blocked as spam. Please contact me via email. I've found the problem, and it is your extension.
Cheers,

Actually, it IS related to your extension after all I found the preference that's responsible for the behavior:
mailnews.headers.extraExpandedHeaders
If I remove that pref, the collapse / expand button next to the returns to / cc headers.
This sort of exposes another issue, disabling or uninstalling Which is that VirtualCenter does not remove any ID of its extensions.virtualIdentity prefs, nor this one. So my tests earlier about what the culprit Whether virtual ID were actually false, because the preferences, once set, are permanent.
This is the general risk from having to rely on a standard extension config preference for controlling behavior.
Cheers.
Hi,
sorry for the SPAM filter, actually it's working fine from my side, but it might be terrible if you going to write something ...
I had a lot to do to make the extension in a way that this preference is adapted dynamically extraExpandedHeader while changing the settings. The reason is that other extensions using this pref-entry too, so I always have to check what's there and what should be added.
And actually the Virtual Identity extension removes their own settings every time you shut down Thunderbird. Maybe there are traces from former installations, but it's working the way it should here.
For a test just remove the 'pref-extraExpandedHeader' and restart virtual identity with the usual settings (header x-original-to, to, cc), than' to 'and' cc 'are found in header views, so not added, and 'x-original-to' is added to this preference while Thunderbird is running. But after Thunderbird is shut down, it should be removed. (The same if you deactivate or uninstall Thunderbird it)
Is the behaivior you Described reproducible? Maybe another conflict with some other extension, can you copy me a list?
Thanks for intense testing,
Rene
