I'm writing a Thunderbird extension that is currently able to trigger when a compose window is created (by listening to when a new tab is created, and then checking the contents of that tab for ComposeDetails). However, what I need is to know if the user is replying to another message, and if so, what other message they're replying to. That information isn't in the ComposeDetails, and I can't figure out how to find it. Can anyone help?

It looks like Thunderbird 88 will support it. The ComposeDetails
are getting a new attribute type
:
[type]
(string) – [Added in TB 88]Read-only. The type of the message being composed, depending on how the compose window was opened by the user.
Supported values:
draft
new
reply
forward
I have no solution to suggest for older versions.
