feat(summary): add AI-powered message summary feature #579
Conversation
Add new ThunderAI summary functionality that generates concise summaries for email messages using the existing ThunderAI infrastructure. Includes a new content script that creates a summary pane in the message display, associated CSS styling, and backend integration for AI summary generation. The feature shows a loading indicator while generating the summary and falls back to showing truncated message content if the AI generation fails.
- Add new preference option to enable automatic AI summarization - Update all localization files with new preference text - Implement preference check in message display script - Add default preference setting in options configuration - Include preference toggle in options UI This adds a user-configurable option to automatically generate and display AI summaries when viewing email messages, with appropriate warnings about data transmission to AI services.

Thank you for your idea! I added issue #580 to track this feature. There should be an option to activate the feature and a safe toggle if the user is using the ChatGPT Web Interface. Edit: I see now that you pushed a commit while I was writing this comment, I was referring to the first commit. |

I forgot to mention that probably it could be better to not get the content from the message, but directly from the background script using the standard Thunderbird messages API. |

Please, consider that has been added PR #597 that adds the page for the special prompts. |
