-"<b>Clickable, durable links to specific messages</b>"
 
-### Intro - Thanks
-
-I am a long time user of **thunderlink** as can be found on 
-[addons.thunderbird.net](https://addons.thunderbird.net/nl/thunderbird/addon/thunderlink/) or [github](https://github.com/mikehardy/thunderlink). I can't imagine my workflow and electronic archive without!
-
-However Thunderbird changed quite drastically the underlying APIs and thefore thunderlink stopped working on recent versions. See e.g. [this announcement.](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/78.0/releasenotes/)
-A complete re-think and re-write was needed and the original author did not have the time. So I took the task doing so.
-
-Big thanks to [Mike Hardy](https://github.com/mikehardy) and team for having thunderlink supported all this time!
-
-### Important remarks on cb_thunderlink vs thunderlink
-
-#### `thunderlink://` versus `cbthunderlink://`
-
-The original thunderlink identified messages in an unique way by using message-id of the email. Links would read like `thunderlink://messageid=somestuff@foobar`. cb_thunderlink still fully supports this.
-
-However, there is a remote risk that searching on the message-id gets lost in the further future reduction of Thunderbird API. Therefore a second mechanism was introduced named 'cbthunderlink'. This identifies messages in an unique way using the message-date and message-author. Links would read like `cbthunderlink://SomeBase64String`. It might be slightly more future-proof to start using those.
-
-Features work for both and where needed I will distinguish them as `cbthunderlink`, `thunderlink` or `(cb)thunderlink` when referring to both.
-
-#### Clickable - OS-integration
-
-Thunderlinks clickable-feature depended on being able calling the `thunderbird -thunderlink xyz` command. However Thunderbird has also dropped support therefore... 
-
-To keep that feature available, cb_thunderlink comes with an accompanying program, started automatically by the add-on, to emulate that feature and make links clickable again. Note that currently this is only available yet for Windows and for some Linuxes.
-
-However, cb_thunderlink can be used perfectly well without that accompanying program. Links need to be cut then from your source and pasted (using the cb_thunderlink button) into Thunderbird.
-
-
-### Description - usage
-
-`(cb)thunderlink`'s are durable hyperlinks to specific email messages.
-
-You can use them anywhere you want immediate access to the original message contents in full. 
-For example, wikis, task trackers, etc.
-
-Click on `(cb)thunderlink` later to open that specific message in Thunderbird.
-(when not installing the accompanying program, copy the link and paste it using cb_thunderlink button)
-
-You may customize `(cb)thunderlink` formats to fit your needs.
-
-`(cb)thunderlink`'s are durable even if you file the message. This enables the Thunderbird email client to quickly and reliably find and select any email that exists in your Thunderbird mail store.
-
-### Installation
-
-Head to the [latest release](https://github.com/CamielBouchier/cb_thunderlink/releases) and download the `cb_thunderlink.xpi` from the assets. You can install the `cb_thunderlink.xpi` in Thunderbird using the 'install add-on from file' feature in Thunderbird.
-
-When not using the OS-integration and the 'clickable' feature, that is all you need. 
-You can start using `(cb)thunderlink`'s with the approach of copying the links and pasting it using the cb_thunderlink button.
-
-If you need the full power of OS integration and the possibility to click links, read further. The instructions will be different per OS and currently only Windows is supported.
-
-#### Windows
-
-Head again to  the [latest release](https://github.com/CamielBouchier/cb_thunderlink/releases) and download the `cb_thunderlink_windows.zip` from the assets.
-
-Unzip the `cb_thunderlink_windows.zip` e.g. to `C:\FooBar\cb_thunderlink`.
-
-Open a 'Command prompt' **as administrator** and issue :
-
-```
-> cd C:\FooBar\cb_thunderlink
-> cb_thunderlink.exe register
-``` 
-
-It registers the executable to the add-on and it registers the protocols `thunderlink://` and `cbthunderlink://` to the operating system.
-
-Remove and reinstall the `cb_thunderlink.xpi` into Thunderbird and that's it. 
-From now on you should have again clickable `(cb)thunderink`'s!
-
-#### Linux
-
-(Currently only tested for XUbuntu 18.04, all feedback on other systems welcome!)
-
-Head again to  the [latest release](https://github.com/CamielBouchier/cb_thunderlink/releases) and download the `cb_thunderlink_linux.zip` from the assets.
-
-Unzip the `cb_thunderlink_linux.zip` e.g. to `~/cb_thunderlink`.
-
-Open a 'shell' and issue :
-
-```
-> cd ~/cb_thunderlink
-> ./cb_thunderlink register
-``` 
-
-It registers the executable to the add-on and it registers the protocols `thunderlink://` and `cbthunderlink://` to the operating system.
-
-Remove and reinstall the `cb_thunderlink.xpi` into Thunderbird and that's it. 
-From now on you should have again clickable `(cb)thunderink`'s!
-
-#### MAC
-
-Currently unsupported for OS-integration and clickable.
