Monthly update: August 2025

I was planning on slowing things down a bit to enjoy the summer, but that changed one day when I accidentally sent out an email with broken links (the URLs were incorrect). Since I was using Thunderbird for email, I searched for an extension that could allow a user to review the links in a draft message and hopefully prevent the mishap that I experienced. I wasn't able to find such an extension for Thunderbird... and so, Check Links was born!

I threw together a functioning prototype in a weekend, and spend the last two weeks polishing it further. The first beta build of Check Links came out last week, and another is due shortly as this new extension for Thunderbird gets closer to version 1.0.

This has caused me to set aside the work that I had planned for a new version of Read Next, but I plan to revisit it when Check Links 1.0 is released.

Check Links 0.8.1 released!

This is a beta release of Check Links, the new Thunderbird extension from AE Creations that lets you review the web addresses (URLs) of all hyperlinks in a draft email message before sending. It's now available for testers and early adopters craving the latest and greatest, and are willing to tolerate a few bugs.

Read on to learn what's new with this release, and how to get it!

What's New

• Minor improvements to the Message View and Table View dialogs, including checking for blank URLs
• Draft emails will no longer be set as modified if none of the links were changed during link checking 

How to Get It

To install this beta release, head over to the Check Links page on the AE Creations website, where instructions on how to install into Thunderbird are provided. Please note that it's not yet available on the Add-ons for Thunderbird website.

Although I'm going to slow things down a bit to enjoy the summer, I'll still take some time to work on the next update to Read Next that I teased about in a previous post. There is also a bug in Clippings that is occurring on macOS that was recently raised, and I'm working on a fix for that as well.
