Equivalent of Firebug for Thunderbird

Question

When I build a newsletter and send it to myself as a test, I would like to be able to analyze the resulting HTML in my email client (Thunderbird).

Is there a tool similar to Firebug but for Thunderbird? I found one called "DOM Inspector" but it is pretty weak and hard to use...

Answer 1

Chromebug works on XUL applications generally and I recently tried it on Thunderbird. This is the program we use to debug Firebug.

You want the most recent 1.7X.0a build.

The closest I know is Venkman, the Javascript Debugger (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/).

I actually do like the DOM Inspector, the "Edit -> Select Element by Click" menu helps a lot with finding information about a particular part of the chrome.
