I'd like to be able to display the contents of an email header (X-Spam-Score) as a column in the email list within Thunderbird.
This header is added by my mail providers Spam Assassin install, and I'd like to be able to sort mail with it.
I know how to filter mail using this header, but I'm trying to get it to display as a column , next to From, Subject, Date and so on.
Thunderbird V 17.0.7

I've been using this columnswizard addon for this and it works great.

Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. You should provide at least a link, some additional information about the software itself, and how it can be used to solve the problem in the question.

This might work as a workaround, to show the X-Spam-Score header in the message headers:
Tools > Options > Advanced > General, then click Config
Editor.mailnews.headers.extraExpandedHeaders into the about:config search bar.X-Spam-Score as value.

I'll try that, but that is not quite what I'm looking to do. I want to be able to sort emails in the folder based on this header value – Rob – 2013-07-31T14:00:51.233

The only solution for now seems to be the creation of an extension. Here's a example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Extensions/Thunderbird/Creating_a_Custom_Column

Are you open to add-ons? – Raystafarian – 2013-07-29T01:21:52.203
Yes, that's not a problem, as long as it does what I need. I did have a look for add ons, there are a few that add extra fields, but non give me the ability to either specify an email header as a column or add this specific header – Rob – 2013-07-29T08:42:12.297

I don't know if you've looked at this (or if you could adapt it) but the spamness seems to add a column based on the score
– SeanC – 2013-07-29T22:31:37.713@SeanCheshire , that looks quite interesting, it seems ot can be configured to display the score itself rather than it visualisation 'blob' – Rob – 2013-07-30T08:33:53.560
I tried the spammness extension. When I first added it i saw a few emails had values in the new column added, but now they are all blank again. so, this seems a possibly unreliable extension. It looks like it uses regex to scrape the information out of the headers, I wonder if this is heavily depended on the version of Spam Assassin in use. – Rob – 2013-07-31T14:02:18.817
