Thunderbird

Will there be any work done on creating an Adblock Plus extension for Thunderbird? It would be great to have it work with RSS feeds that are configured to load the whole web page rather than just the article summary.

Seems it's impossible:

Hi,

just had the same idea.
Is it a big thing to translate the plugin for thunderbird?
In the small previes-windowin the rss-reader are any ads extra bothering.

Right now, Thunderbird, unlike Firefox and Mozilla, does not ask Adblock whether or not it should load each image it comes across.

(You might've noticed that when you right-click an image in Firefox/Mozilla, one of the menu items says "Block images from servername", while this menu item isn't present in Thunderbird. Adblock hooks into the same part of the backend as does that menuitem, so if/when you see that menuitem present in Thunderbird, it's likely that Adblock will be able to work on Thunderbird.)

The relevant bug in bugzilla is 245361. Until that bug is fixed, Adblock will not be able to work on Thunderbird.
