Ignoring your initial comment, there're some pointers at:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/specs/extensions.html

I suspect though that the best advice would be to simply grab some 
extensions from 
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?os=Windows&application=thunderbird 
and http://www.mozdev.org/ and learn from the source.

I still prefer my home 19" CRT over my work 19" TFT - both of pretty 
good quality. For me the CRT wins simply on resolution/refresh 
rate/dpi... which generally seem to result in a better quality picture 
IMO (YMMV). The monitor is also cheaper - they cost the same new, and 
the CRT is now several years old (and going strong) compared to several 
months for the TFT.

There's no doubt that my CRT pumps out a lot of heat, where I notice 
none from the TFT; and the former is a huge heavy beast compared to a 
great space saving device.
