# Thunderbird Autotag

This filter automatically copies keywords from the previous message in a

thread.

It is based on a [Bug Bounties][1] resolution, but with some changes to make it

work nowadays.

[1]: https://bountify.co/thunderbird-plug-in-for-auto-tag-messages-based-on-previous-message-in-thread

## How to use

1. Install the [FiltaQuilla Add-on][2].

2. After installation, check the `JavaScript Action` mark in the `Filter

   Actions` tab of the add-on settings.

3. Restart Thunderbird.

4. Create a new filter:

   - Tick the `Checking mail` condition, make sure to select `After

     classification`.

   - Tick `Periodically, every 10 minutes`

   - In actions, select `JavaScript Action` and paste the contents of

     [autotag.js](autotag.js) into the JavaScript editor.

## Notes

- Tested with Thunderbird 115.3.1 and FiltaQuilla 4.0b2

- The easiest debugging method is logging to the error console (`Menu -> Extras

  -> Developer Tools -> Error Console`) using the `console.log()` function.
