PM Reply-All Button (Greasemonkey Script)

**WhiskeySix** · 06-05-2007, 06:23 PM

When reading a Private Message with multiple recipients, privatemessagereplyall.user.js adds "Reply All" functionality via a new button at the bottom of the PM:

Comments, suggestions, and bug-reports welcome.

[ This is a script that requires the (free) FireFox browser and the GreaseMonkey plugin for Firefox. When both are installed, just click the script-link above to start using this. ]

Really? Tell me this doesn't add a "Reply to all" button. If it does then I might have to kiss you.

edit: OMG it works. I really can't thank you enough for this one. It's something TG has been needing for a long time.

I need a plugin that lets me Add to Whiskey's Reputation every time I want to without having to spread it around.

I think I found a bug. Say I receive an email from eGoatboy that goes to me and Mister_X. If I hit your "Reply to all" button then it sends a PM to me and Mister_X but not to the original sender. It looks like the original senders name appears momentarily but gets over written by the other names.

I am using FireFox 2.0.0.4. I don't know what version of script Monkey (if there are separate versions).

good catch.. that's an easy fix... brb...

oh.. hmm.. I suppose it shouldn't CC yourself on the reply, huh? ok - that'll take a little different fix.

I don't know the exact fix or even code but the pseudo code would be something like this in this section would it not?

Code:

//--- generate recipient List --------
        var thisName = ""
        var nameList = ""
        nameSpans = namesCell.getElementsByTagName('span');
        for(i=1; i<nameSpans.length; i++)
        {
            (Pseudo code) //Skip my own name here, I don't need a reply to myself
            (Pseudo code) //Find the name of original sender and add his name here
            thisName = nameSpans[i].innerHTML
            nameList = nameList + ''+thisName+'' + '\; ';
        }

Whiskey, get to work on this script next.

**WhiskeySix** · 06-05-2007, 09:21 PM

first post updated - reinstall and let me know if it works...

**jmaker** · 06-05-2007, 09:35 PM

Ok it now adds the original sender but still has 'my name' in the list.

**WhiskeySix** · 06-05-2007, 11:49 PM

Thanks for the feedback guys! The original thread is updated with what I think is the "final" version. Let me know if you find any other goof ups!

**Wimpinator** · 06-06-2007, 12:10 AM

This version seems to work perfectly for me. Thanks again man! Now I have to go delete about 75 PM's...

**jmaker** · 06-06-2007, 12:42 AM

Looks good my man!

Ok, many scripts have come and gone without me checking them out, but this one I must run.

So, as a greasemonkey newbie, I got it installed and then clicked on the script, but it comes up with a screen of script and gives me an install button. When I click install on that page, I get nothing. I can't see how to get anything. Ideas?

Searched and found that disabling and then re-enabling greasemonkey fixes the problem.
