Feature request: option to update account dropdown

[RealRaven2000]

If SmartTemplates settings tab is already open, any changes (such as name edits or adding / removing identities) to any account's identities is not automatically loaded / displayed in the dropdown. the only way to update its contents currently is to close the settings dialog and reopen settings which is inconvenient.

Therefore it would be either good to have an automatic update triggered by any changes or (at the least) a button to force updating the list.

Here is a first preview version that implements a "refresh accounts list " button. It is not yet localized but it should do the job - it can be used after:

• setting a new display format using the settings button to the left of accounts
• editing / adding / deleting identities from any account in Thunderbird

the technique is a little complicated as it clones the elements under "common account settings" and need to reestablish event listeners etc., the detail is kind of messy.

Known issue: just after uploading, I see we are missing the [x] Use Common checkboxes on the newly generated decks!

To try the version above download zip file and drag the file into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (do not extract contents, it won't install like that)
