Glossary

Canonical terms used in the add-on UI and documentation. Use these to keep translations consistent across locales.


Notes

  • Keep UI strings short and action‑oriented.
  • Prefer nouns for settings and verbs for actions.
  • Use sentence case (only the first word capitalized) except titles.

Terms

  • Attachments: files included with an email. Avoid “enclosures”.
  • Blacklist (Exclude list): list of patterns that prevent files from being attached automatically. In the UI this appears as “Blacklist (glob patterns)”.
  • In UI copy, prefer “Blacklist (glob patterns)” to match the settings page.
  • Explain that only filenames are matched; not paths.
  • Confirm / Confirmation: ask the user to proceed before adding attachments.
  • Answers: “Yes” (add), “No” (cancel). Keep button labels short.
  • Inline image: an image referenced by CID in message HTML; never added as a file.
  • S/MIME signature: smime.p7s or PKCS7 signature parts; never added.
  • Options / Settings: the add-on’s configuration page in Thunderbird.
  • Default answer: the preselected answer for the confirmation dialog.

Email actions

  • Reply: respond to the sender of a message.
  • Reply all: respond to sender and all recipients.
  • Forward: send the message to a different recipient; this add-on does not modify forward behavior.

Attachment types

  • Inline attachments: assets embedded in the message body (e.g., referenced via Content‑ID). Not added as files by the add-on.
  • Attached files: files attached to the message as regular attachments (candidates for copying on reply).

Style

  • Filenames: show as code (monospace), e.g., smime.p7s, *.png.
  • Keys/buttons: title‑case only when they are proper names; otherwise sentence case.
  • Avoid jargon (e.g., “idempotency”); prefer “prevent duplicates”.
