[Python-Dev] Quick access to Python bug reports in Thunderbird

[Alan McIntyre]

Martin,

Thanks; that works very well (in Firefox, too). I got it to work for 
patches, but the URL is a bit uglier (like this: 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=$&group_id=5470&atid=305470). 
I assume there's a way to shorten that some, but it works as is and I 
probably won't change it. :-)
