Source code of the Thunderbird add-on for importing The Bat! e-mails.
Add-on has a Mozilla Add-ons repository. You do not have to pack by yourself. Just get it from there.
See http://brainbox.cz/birdimport/ for more info.
Any feedback appreciated. Would love to hear it worked, and expecting the stones thrown on my head when it failed. (Please carve the bug report in the stone before throwing.)
The add-on hooks (overlays) the Thunderbird Import dialog. It has a XPCOM component for importing The Bat! e-mails. This component is registered after opening the Import dialog thus allowing user to select this type of import.
The Bat! TBB storage files are parsed by the plugin, and the e-mails are then imported to Thunderbird using exposed interfaces.
It was fun to make this. None of the import logic is documented on MDC, so MXR was my friend.
