I ate Open Source today

Today, I won the bounty that Mike put out last Friday. The prize was presented at a geek lunch with Mike himself and Boster.

I only managed to provide the basic functionality by hacking Livelines to workaround what I now think is Thunderbird bug #304704

I had fun digging through messenger.jar, browser.jar and livelines.* but honestly, I wouldn't have given him a solution that quickly if it wasn't for the challenge/bounty feel of it!

Now I gotta finish up my SearchWith task list. It could have been ready for previewing by now if it wasn't for Mike's bounty ;)
